New Delhi, Sep 20 (TIWN) Farm workers from a Hindu family in Pakistan's Rahim Yar Khan, city have landed in trouble for taking water from a mosque tap, according to a media report.

The incident took place a few days ago in Rahim Yar Khan when Alam Ram Bheel, a resident of Basti Kahoor Khan in the city suburbs, was picking raw cotton along with his other family members, including his wife, in a field.  When the family went outside a nearby mosque to fetch drinking water from a tap, some local landlords and their men beat them.  When the family was returning home after unloading the picked cotton, the landlords held them hostage at their ‘dera’ (outhouse) and tortured them again, the Dawn news report said.
