RAWALPINDI BUREAU —Additional District and Sessions Judge Qasim Javed has taken serious notice of a case involving three police personnel accused of registering two false drug cases against an elderly citizen, arresting him again after his acquittal in both cases, subjecting him to torture and robbing him of Rs0.175m and his motorcycle.
The judge has issued notices to the City Police Officer Rawalpindi and SP Rawal, seeking their replies by November 21. The relevant authorised officer has also been directed to appear before the court. In an application filed under Section 22-A, citizen Kamran Rashid, son of Rashid Ahmed, told the court that police constable Khurram had earlier implicated him in two false cases of drug supply at Banni and New Town police stations.
He said he had been honourably acquitted in both cases. The applicant said he had recently visited Benazir Bhutto Hospital when Constable Khurram arrived with two other police personnel, arrested him and took him away in a vehicle. He alleged that the policemen blindfolded him and took him to an abandoned house, where they tortured him and inflicted serious injuries.
According to the application, the policemen asked him to arrange Rs150,000 from his home.
