A police constable and four accomplices have been charged for the alleged torture and murder of a woman in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. The incident occurred at Mauza Muhammad Naich, near Bahawalpur Channigoth police station, on Sunday. The complainant, Abid Hussain, accompanied his sister-in-law Nabila Bibi to visit constable Waseem to file a complaint about the alleged torture of their son Zain (15) during a volleyball tournament.
According to Hussain, Waseem, his cousin Shafique, and two others tortured Nabila Bibi until she died on the spot. Bahawalpur Channigoth police registered a murder case and sent the victim's body for postmortem examination. The suspects fled the scene.
Meanwhile, Lodhran Deputy Police Officer Beenish Fatima has been dismissed from service for alleged misconduct and irregularities. The dismissal was initiated after Lodhran police records were reviewed and departmental action was taken against Bilal Parvez, who served as the front desk head at Lodhran police. According to a DPO spokesperson, the irregularities were detected during the record review, leading to the initiation of disciplinary action and subsequent dismissal of Bilal Parvez.
In a separate incident, the Bahawalpur Saddar police have booked fifteen unidentified suspects for entering and ransacking the Bahawalpur Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) building. The suspects allegedly broke into the BCCI building by scaling the boundary wall, subdued security guard Khuda Baksh at gunpoint, and destroyed the door, windowpanes, and sealed ballot boxes.
The suspects also tampered with the ballot papers. So far, no arrests have been made in the case. BCCI Secretary Abeer Haider lodged a complaint with the police regarding the incident. The sealed ballot boxes were to be used for a recount scheduled for October 21, following orders from the Director General Trade Organisation (DGTO).
Tensions arose among rival groups over the recount, and a complaint from one group led to the ordered recount.
