The dispute is in the court on pasture land between inhabitant is Mehdiabad and Katesho village, the people of Katesho are marginalized and deprived from basic amenities whereas the people of Mehdiabad are relatively well off. The matter came into limelight when a video of torture went viral on social media, government took action and directed police to arrest the culprits, however, two of the three persons nominated in FIR voluntarily surrendered at police station Mehdiabad and the third person is likely to give arrest. According to Council Member HRCP Wazir Muzzafar Hussain, there has been no such incident in the entire history of Baltistan, the victims ought to be given justice as per law and accused to be punished. He visited the three women victims at RHQ Skardu, one of the woman complained the due to severe torture by attackers, she had to undergo abortion.
