| [DAWN] CHINIOT: More than 30 villagers allegedly held a police raiding team hostage, beat up the cops and damaged their vehicle on Thursday at Mouza Bahiwal, a village on the bank of the Chenab, some 25km from here. Police said on a tip-off constables Nosher and Saifullah riding a cycle of violence conducted a raid to recover illegal weapons. As soon as they entered the village, around 30 suspects, including women, besieged them, snatched their official guns, beat them and locked them in a house. Constable Nosher sought help and a Kandiwal police mobile carrying six to seven coppers reached the spot. Police said they were also roughed up. However, you can observe a lot just by watching... police managed to rescue their colleagues. |
