A 35-year-old man was tortured to death by SHO Shahdara police station and four officials on Friday. Shahdara police have registered an FIR against SHO Afzal Virk and four constables under section 302 PPC on the complaint of SI Mohammad Varyam.
Police said that Siraj Din, a resident of Faisalabad was arrested a few days back and kept at a private torture cell where SHO Afzal Virk and four officials tortured him up to their satisfaction. As a result, Siraj’s condition went critical and died at the hands of custodians of law. The victim was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced brought dead.
A senior police officer, requesting anonymity, said that many SPs posted in the city did not bother to keep vigil on their subordinates and preferred to stay at their luxurious offices. “Unfortunately, they are blind and deaf as they believe that their political bosses will manage to bring them back in case of their transfers and save them from the wrath of their seniors,” he added. Another police officer said that the SPs and DSPs concerned should also be held responsible over such killings as their lack of interest encouraged the subordinates to set their own courts of law in the police stations and at private torture cells.
