The newspaper reported that the woman was caught by a mob as she allegedly tried to sneak into a house to steal. The people wary when they saw a 10-year-old boy with the woman.
Since the boy didn't resemble his mother, they started beating the woman. However, she was rescued by a nearby family and handed over to police.

The Dawn said the Sunday night incident was not the first when a mob took law into its own hand. More than 25 people, including women, were beaten up on mere suspicion of kidnapping children earlier. But all the suspects turned out to be innocent and had nothing to do with child kidnapping.
