LAHORE: A police constable was allegedly thrashed and abducted by Rangers Jawans on Tuesday when he asked a man, reportedly the son of the DG Punjab Rangers, not to park his vehicle in the no-parking zone at the Liberty Market.
A spokesman for the Lahore Police has confirmed that the youth was identified as Imran, the son of the DG Punjab Rangers.It was reported that Imran, along with another youth, came to the Liberty Market and parked his vehicle bearing number (ADS-707) in the no-parking zone. Khalil, a Gulberg police constable deployed there, requested Imran to park his vehicle in the parking lot. Imran considered the constable’s request an insult. He abused the constable and also summoned Rangers Jawans. The youth told the constable that he was the son of the DG Punjab Rangers and that Jawans were on their way to teach him a lesson.
**Later, no less than six to seven Rangers Jawans arrived at the scene in a vehicle (LZZ-5000), and started thrashing the constable. The Jawans tortured the constable up to the satisfaction of the youth, who stood close to his vehicle. The Jawans then bundled the constable into the vehicle and drove away.

A traffic warden standing a few yards away alerted the police. He informed the police that some armed men belonging to the Punjab Rangers had thrashed the constable and kidnapped him.
The Lahore police spokesman said the Jawans, who had kidnapped the constable and dropped him at the Rangers Headquarters, were still at large. The spokesman said that Sarwar Road Police, however, intercepted a vehicle bearing number (LWR-7275) at the Fortress Stadium check-post and took four people present in it to the Sarwar Road police station. The four detained by the police were Rangers officials, he said.
Meanwhile, the Gulberg police have registered a case against 10 unidentified men under Sections 365, 186, 353, 148, 149 PPC on the complaint of Gulberg SHO Ahsan Ashraf. Khalil could not be recovered till the filing of this report.
When contacted, SP Model Town Rana Ayaz Saleem said that the youth, who had summoned the armed men, was reportedly the son of the DG Punjab Rangers. He said that whosoever was involved in the crime would be taken to task after their nomination in official papers. “We have yet to confirm whether the son of the DG Punjab Rangers or somebody else was involved in the incident,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Punjab Home Department has formed a joint court of inquiry to probe into the thrashing and kidnapping of the police constable, said a handout. The joint court of inquiry will consist of representatives of Rangers, police and the Home Department. It will probe the incident and fix responsibility, it added.
