[DAWN] IT was only a matter of time before yet another account emerged of innocents losing their lives at the hands of an out of control police. And so it turned out on Saturday, when a couple along with their daughter and a friend were rubbed out by law enforcement officials near Sahiwal.Of the couple’s other minor children on the scene, the son escaped with a bullet injury while two daughters remained unhurt.
The police (particularly in Sindh and Punjab) have become accustomed to glibly using the pretext of fighting terrorism to cover up egregious abuses of power.
