This was not the real white van there must be either off white or a blue line in it. Otherwise Police would not be able to catch it

These kind of activity must be vanished from our country. only way to tackle is to hand them in public if not like pakistan's Black landcruser will drag long

It's useless to kill the small fish. If the police have a spine, point the finger at the big boss who conducts the white van.

Bring back the death penalty, and hang these outlaws.
