LAHORE: A domestic dispute allegedly turned violent when a man reportedly used his Vigo pickup to hit his wife and her brother in Lahore, with the incident captured on CCTV and later circulating on social media.

Police have arrested the accused, identified as Abbas, and seized the vehicle used in the incident. A case has also been registered following the alleged attack.

According to preliminary police findings, Abbas had a heated argument with his wife over a family matter at their residence. Following the dispute, the woman contacted her brother and left the house with him. The two were reportedly walking along a residential street when the alleged attack took place.

CCTV footage obtained during the investigation shows the woman and her brother walking along the roadside before a white Vigo pickup approaches from behind. The vehicle then appears to move towards the two pedestrians and strikes them.

The impact reportedly threw both victims onto the road, leaving them injured. The footage further shows the vehicle attempting to reverse before leaving the area, while nearby residents rushed towards the injured individuals.

The victims were subsequently shifted to a nearby hospital with the assistance of local residents and Rescue 1122. According to the information available to police, both sustained serious injuries and were placed under medical observation.

The woman reportedly suffered injuries to her legs, arms and head, while her brother sustained fractures and head injuries. Their condition was later described as stable, although they remained under treatment.

Police took notice of the incident after the CCTV footage emerged and began tracing the vehicle. Investigators reportedly identified the vehicle through its registration number visible in the footage and arrested Abbas within hours.

The Vigo has been taken into police custody and is being treated as case property. Police have also secured the CCTV recording and DVR for forensic examination to establish the sequence of events and preserve digital evidence.

An FIR has been registered under relevant provisions of the Pakistan Penal Code, including Section 324 relating to attempted murder, along with provisions concerning injuries and rash or negligent driving. Police are also examining whether additional legal provisions are applicable based on the circumstances of the case.

A police official told Minute Mirror that investigators were examining the CCTV footage as key evidence in determining whether the vehicle was deliberately driven towards the victims.

The official said the registration number and other details visible in the footage would form part of the investigation, while the accused would be produced before the court for further legal proceedings.

The CCTV footage is also being examined to establish the exact sequence of events before, during and after the alleged collision. Forensic examination of the recording will help investigators determine whether the footage has been altered and identify other relevant evidence.

The incident has drawn attention to the escalation of domestic disputes into violent confrontations. Police officials said cases involving family disputes require timely intervention, particularly where there is a risk of physical violence.

The investigation remains underway. Police are collecting medical reports, CCTV evidence and statements from witnesses as they prepare the case for further proceedings.

The court will determine the legal status of the allegations and the accused’s responsibility based on the evidence presented during the investigation and subsequent trial.
