What happened after school
Vehari is dominated by an alleged acid attack at Achar Bazaar in Macheewal, where two schoolchildren and a van driver suffered minor burn injuries after school hours. Local residents expressed concern as word of the incident spread.
According to details shared with authorities, an unidentified person allegedly threw acid on children Waheed and Waqas, who live in 531 EB, and on van driver Tasawwar Iqbal while they were waiting to go home. The three were taken for medical examination. Their condition was later reported to be out of danger.
Who is suspected, and why
Initial accounts identified a man named Shakeel as the suspected attacker. The alleged motive was described as an old dispute with the van driver. The suspect is said to have fled the scene and had not been arrested at the time these details were known.
No further public confirmation of the motive or of formal charges was available beyond those initial reports. Officials have not publicly named additional suspects.
Police response and public demands
Residents also raised concerns about an alleged delay in the police response. Senior police officials later reached the hospital to ask about the injured and to gather details of the incident.
Citizens have demanded a transparent investigation, the immediate arrest of the suspect, and action to ensure justice for the victims. For families in Vehari, the episode has renewed anxiety about safety on the route home from school.
In short, Vehari news today underlines both the medical outcome—minor burns, patients out of danger—and the unfinished police work of finding and holding the person named in initial reports.
