On March 13, 2025, a violent clash occurred on Canal Road in Lahore, near the Beijing Underpass. Private security guards, responsible for protecting foreign guests, opened fire on a citizen’s car and assaulted the driver, Imran, after he refused to give way. This attack by the Lahore security guards has caused public outrage.
Imran, a clothing trader, recounted, “They fired a shot that hit my car under the bridge.” As a guard aimed again, bystanders intervened, filming the chaos. The attackers beat Imran with a rifle butt before fleeing. Bravely, he blocked their escape with his damaged vehicle.
