GUJRANWALA (92 News) – Pump owners tortured the 92 News team for exposing black marketing in the city on Monday. 92 News correspondent Rafique Mughal had exposed the sale of petrol on the black market in the city. Taking notice of the news aired by 92 News, the Gujranwala DCO sealed the petrol pump. Ihtesham Sheikh, the petrol pump owner, with his guard attacked the 92 News team covering the sealing of the pump. Reacting to the incident, 92 News Editor Forum Rana Azeem said that it is not an easy task to expose the mafia. “Our job is to expose the mafia and will continue to do it. 92 News has always been exposing the mafias,” he said. PFUJ general secretary JM Jamali said that this mafia considers itself powerful when the government functionaries give them a free hand. “These people consider themselves powerful when the powerful back them,” he added. Lahore Press Club president Arshad Ansari said that it is responsibility of a journalist to expose the mafias. “The government is not oblivious the situation. The government knows well that the mafia has stored millions of litres of petrol,” he added.
