Lahore: Pakistan's Federal Minister for Human Rights Dr Shireen Mazari said on Friday that 24 men had been taken into custody through geo-fencing and matching record from National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) for sexually assaulting a young woman Tiktoker in Lahore on Aug 14, a day when the nation observed its Independence Day.

Videos of the incident went viral on social media.

Mazari tweeted: " MoHR following with Punjab police on the condemnable Minar-i-Pakistan Lahore incident. So far 24 men were arrested through geo fencing & NADRA match. More arrests are expected today. On issue of police negligence/failure IG ordered inquiry is underway by Add IG."

Pakistan officials said senior police officers had been suspended for negligence and delaying response in dealing with the incident.
