Punjab Police is the worst police of the four provinces. Since years it is notorious for most corrupt police, torture and humiliating local population. It seems that local population is contented and somewhat accepted this kind of third degree tactics by police. They never raise any voice against the brutal act. CJ should have suspended IG, DIG and local SP for that to begin with certain change.
I wonder what PPP had done differently that PML(N) is doing now? I think it needs fundamental mindset change in people living in Punjab province.
Re: Butchers of Punjab. Is there any drone for them?
well i guess this has been going on since day one of Pakistan police and combined indian raj police and widely known and accepted form of interrogation. I dont think they have taught about any new and humane methods of breaking up the criminals.
only thing surprising is that media wake up just now after so many years knowing about it. IG's and other officials cant say they didnt know this practice and came to know only through these videos.
PML N (Shahbaz) always encourage police heavy handed approach even ask them get rid of criminals in fake encounters - as they believe justice served quickly can impact on crime rates, it may be effective but some innocents also get death penalty without trials.
about time this torture come to and end or just it will be going behind closed doors now,"drawing room" once again.

Law of jungle prevails in country, says CJ
Saturday, March 06, 2010 Takes suo moto notice of public flogging by cops; seeks report
By Javed Aziz Khan
PESHAWAR: Taking suo moto notice of the public flogging of accused persons by the policemen in Chiniot and other areas of the Punjab, Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on Friday observed that it seemed that there was law of the jungle in the country.
The chief justice ordered the Punjab police chief to take stern action against the cops involved in the torture of people at the police stations. A three-member bench of the Supreme Court, comprising Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and Justice Chaudhry Ijaz Ahmed and Justice Khilji Arif Hussain, heard the case at the Supreme Court�s Peshawar Registry Branch and ordered the Punjab government to submit its inquiry report by March 11 to the apex court about the public flogging of the accused persons.
Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Friday constituted a committee to hold an inquiry into the brutal incidents of the police torture. The Supreme Court swung into action after some private television channels frequently telecast videos, showing policemen in Chiniot, Hafizabad and Pindi Bhattian flogging the accused persons in public.
The bench summoned the Punjab advocate general (AG) on the next hearing fixed for March 11. While hearing the case, the chief justice called upon the police to take concrete action against accused police officials for lashing suspects in public, adding, �Mere suspension of police personnel will serve no purpose.�
�Watching the flogging coverage on electronic and in the print media, one feels that the law of the jungle prevails in the country,� the chief justice remarked. He added that the whipping in public was an open violation of human rights and ordered the police high-ups to visit the police stations on daily basis to inquire about those behind bars.
�Everyone has rights in the Constitution and strict action should be taken against those who violate the law for having power,� observed Justice Chaudhry Ijaz, another member of the bench.
The Bhawana police had reportedly arrested seven accused in different robbery cases a few days ago and tortured them in public one by one outside the police station. The accused persons identified as Riaz, Wajid, Zeeshan, Sharif, Abid, Muhammad Iqbal and Zafar, were reportedly stripped off in front of a large number of people.
A private channel also showed a PML-N MPA appreciating the police torture, arguing it was the demand of people of the area. The private TV channels also ran a video of another 16-year-old boy being flogged at the Pindi Bhattian police station. The police had arrested the boy for his alleged involvement in a mobile phone theft case.
Five policemen, including a station house officer of the Bhawana Police Station, who had tortured suspects in robbery cases, have been sent to the Jhang District Jail on a 14-day judicial remand. The Punjab government has also suspended a deputy superintendent of police (DSP) and arrested an SHO and his subordinates for being involved in public flogging of the accused.

LAHORE: A Punjab Police advertisement carrying logo of Punjab Police of India has appeared in newspapers on Friday.
The advertisement has called on people to extend their cooperation with Punjab Police to counter terrorism.
At the bottom of the advertisement, Punjab Police of India logo has been placed rather than logo of Punjab Police of Pakistan.
When contacted, Inspector General of Punjab Tariq Saleel Dogar put the blame on printing company, saying the department had sent an accurate advertisement with correct logo. However, he said an inquiry was being conducted into the error.
In an apparent attempt to downplay the gaffe, the IGP said that the logos of Punjab Police of Pakistan and India were historically identical, causing this mistake.
To a question, he said: “We have ideological difference with India, but it was done mistakenly.”
It may be reminded that an Indian government advertisement carrying image of Pakistani ex-air force chief had appeared in Indian newspapers in January this year.
Former Air chief Tanvir Mahmood Ahmed was pictured with Indians such as Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and cricketer Kapil Dev in a campaign against female foeticide.
The full-page newspaper ad was produced by the women and child development ministry for National Girl Child Day. The government has ordered an inquiry into the error.

Re: Butchers of Punjab. Is there any drone for them?
Its a funny topic but here is a quick snap shot for you guys, let say you are driving on mall rd in Lahore, bank road in Rawalpindi or even GT road any where, how many traffic lanes are on the road? 3 on each side (let say for good sake) now at the toll plaza or at traffic light how many lanes you see merging together for original 3 lanes? 7 or may be 8. This is just a true version of us as a Nation, we dont give a damn about law and all of those Police men or women are actually us, so just by wearing uniform do you think we care about anything????????????????
How many of you guys actually follow the law 100%?? drive in your own lane, wear helmet on motorcycle, dont honk near hospital/mosque/school? stop at red light? Issue is we all like to pint fingers but think we are special ourselves for some God known reasons.
