Summary
Even after 24 hours of torturing of Dunya News team by the LDA guards, police have failed to lodge an FIR while they also released the main character of the whole story, Major (R) Suhaib during the late hours of night. Yesterdayc an LDA school teacher came to the LDA plaza with her reinstatement order issued by the honorable Lahore High Court but as soon as she reached LDA office she was tortured miserably by the guards. Upon covering the incident the guards also tortured Dunya News team, including producer, cameraman and driver. Not only this but they also snatched the camera from the cameraman and broke it completely. On this occasion the journalists handed over the incharge of the guards to the police but the police made lame excuses to lodge an FIR and till late at night they did not register the first investigation report of the incident. Even after the medical report of senior producer of Dunya News Taha Siddiqui which declares one of his ribs broken, the police are not prepared to register an FIR. According to the police sources, the brother of the accused is a lawyer and the lawyers community threatened the police of coming with bailiff to get the accused released from the police custody, therefore the police could not lodge an FIR against Major Suhaib. On the other hand LDA has taken its request for an FIR against Dunya News unconditionally in order to pressurize the organization.
