Supreme Court has adjourned the police torture case for 3 weeks.
During the case hearing, Justice Sair Ali said that the situation could be rectified if the cops who resorted to brutality be subjected to the same kind of torture. However, the IG Police said that the police morale has shrunk, and added that it has been hard for cops to get out of their homes in uniforms. The court ordered the Punjab government to submit report about police brutality within 3 weeks, and directed all the SPs to close down all the torture centers in their respective areas. Justice Javed Iqbal observed that in future IG would be held accountable, if any torture incident comes on surface. Advocate General Punjab Khawaja Haris said that police laws are being amended, which would certainly improve the situation.
The IG Police claimed that the media is overplaying the issue, while Justice Sair said that anarchy is being created by the police and not media.
