The KP Police announced on Twitter the arrest of a group suspected of attacking three transgender people in Peshawar’s Sarband area.
“No crime will go unpunished in KP :: #Peshawar Police arrested within hours the culprits involved in stabbing #Transgenders in Sarband, Peshawar. The culprits were arrested along with the weapons,” stated the tweet on Thursday.
