The Lahore High Court (LHC) has directed District Police Officer (DPO) Toba Tek Singh to get registered a criminal case against SHO Chatiana and other responsible police officials for keeping one Ishtiaq Ahmed in illegal custody.
The court passed these orders in a petition filed for the recovery of detainee from the illegal custody of the respondents.
In this regard, the court appointed a court bailiff for the recovery of detainee who in his report submitted that the detainee was found in the lock up but no entry was made in any register of the police station.
He also submitted that the police officials concerned also failed to give appropriate reply.
The court, after submission of the bailiff report, took serious note of illegal custody of the detainee and directed registration of a criminal case against the responsible police officials.
