Terrifying incident on M-4. Today, while travelling with my family from Bahawalpur to Isbd, we experienced a horrifying incident that exposed the alarming lack of timely response from the authorities responsible for our safety. A sky-blue bus (TAU-010) belonging to Kohistan Waheed Travels was following our car on the M-4 Motorway near Faisalabad, where the road was single-lane. Despite the lack of space to overtake, the bus driver repeatedly flashed his headlights, pressuring us to give way. The moment he spotted even a small gap, he struck the side of our car, overtook us, and stopped directly in front of our vehicle. Initially, we assumed the bus driver had in an accident with the vehicle ahead. However, the driver,along with 15–20 men, approached our car and began physically assaulting us. We were threatened by the mob and feared for our safety. There were only 3 of us (2 men and 1 woman) and we somehow managed to de-escalate the situation and escape. It did not end there, the same bus followed us all the way to the Sial Rest Area, where we stopped out of fear. Throughout this situation, we contacted the Motorway Police thrice. Yet, each time, we were told that “the case has not been registered.” The incident occurred at approximately 10:00 PM, and even after 2 hours, we had received no assistance. We are constantly assured that women and families can travel safely on our motorways. But after experiencing something this terrifying, I cannot help but question what these assurances actually mean. What is the point of having a motorway police force if citizens cannot receive timely assistance at the time of safety risk. P.S. Photographs of the bus and its driver are attached for identification and reference. @MaryamNSharif @NHMPofficial @Traffic_M4 @OfficialDPRPP #MotorwayPolice #M4Motorway – at Pind Dadan Khah, Pakistan
