Video shows the moment the petrol station employee, who was slapped by a motorist for asking him not to smoke, settled the score by bashing the attacker in front of police.

“Maza aaya,” read a majority of comments as Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz shared both videos in a post on X.

“This is a tight slap in the face of those entitled, spoiled brats who look down upon the poor as if they were lesser human beings. They arrogantly believe that money and power put them above the law, allowing them to exploit, intimidate, and act with impunity,” the CM wrote.

The motorist was arrested by Lahore police earlier in the day.
