According to reports, the crime occurred within the jurisdiction of Sandal Bar police station. Three armed assailants intercepted a couple, Adnan and his wife, on Motorway Bridge 62. Holding them at gunpoint, the criminals forced them into nearby fields, restrained the husband, and subjected the wife to a brutal assault before fleeing with their mobile phones and cash.

Following the attack, Adnan reported the crime to the police, detailing how they were stopped and victimized by the perpetrators.
Upon receiving the complaint, Faisalabad City Police Officer (CPO) Sahibzada Bilal Umar directed SP Iqbal Town Abid Zafar to take immediate action and arrest the culprits.
A special police team, comprising the SP, DSP Circle, and SHOs, was swiftly formed, leading to the detention of four suspects. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities continue their efforts to track down all individuals involved.
This horrifying case echoes the infamous Lahore-Sialkot Motorway incident of September 9, 2020, where a stranded woman was attacked by armed men while waiting for help. The perpetrators dragged her and her children to an isolated location, where she was subjected to a heinous assault in front of them.
