The footage has highlighted violence against women in Pakistan with celebrities and politicians speaking out.

“The assault of a young women by a mob at #minarepakistan should shame every Pakistani. It speaks to a rot in our society," wrote Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, an assembly member and chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party.

"Those responsible must be brought to justice. The women of Pakistan feel insecure and it is all our responsibility to ensure safety and equal rights to all."
