| [GEO.TV] The SHO of Paharipura cop shoppe was suspended Friday after local councillor Malik Shahnawaz Khan reported police thrashed him when he stopped them from searching his house late Thursday night. According to Shahnawaz, police wanted to search his house during an operation. However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... he added, since there were no female personnel with the force he did not let them enter his house. Shahnawaz said police refused from calling female personnel and insisted they would search the house regardless. Subsequently, an altercation took place between the police and Shahnawaz, locals said. The argument turned into a brawl between the two. The councillor showed bruises that he got during the clash. Shahnawaz alleged that police broke into his house and damaged cupboards and door inside, while also took with them the closed-circuit cameras that were installed there. However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... he did not show his house to the media. A committee has been formed under the charge of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa MPA Arbab Jahandad Khan, which will enquire the matter. Until then, the SHO has been suspended and closed to police lines i.e. he has been sent to the police lines from the cop shoppe. |
