Summary The angry mob demanded to lodge a case against the check post in-charge.
KARACHI (Dunya News) - The angry mob attacked the Sachal police station Saturday after a case was registered against unidentified Rangers personnel over the death of a man under controversial circumstances in the custody of law-enforcers.
The FIR was registered by the father of the man identified as Mohammad Bilal. It stated that the deceased who passed away on Friday had been picked up from his residence by Rangers personnel on July 15. The man had been detained in a joint operation by the Rangers and police following a recent gun attack on a Rangers motorcycle squad in the city's Sachal area. He had remained in the custody of Rangers for two days before being handed over to the Sachal police.
Following the tragic incident, the angry protesters attempted to ransack the police station, demanding officials to register the case against those involved in the incident. Meanwhile, the security personnel resorted to aerial firing to disperse the mob.
Later, the mob surrounded the police station and demanded to lodge case against the check post in-charge.
Earlier, Sachal police had stated that the man was handed over to them in a 'critical' condition, whereas the Rangers claimed that Bilal was handed over to the police in 'perfect' health condition and with no signs of torture on his body.
However, doctors have confirmed that electric shocks had been administered on Bilal along with other means of torture.
Also on Friday, DIG (east) Capt Tahir Naveed ordered an inquiry into the death in order to ascertain the circumstances and fix responsibility.
