ISLAMABAD: The interior ministry and the IG Police have delegated sweeping and unbridled powers to the police.

According to information received by Daily Times that influential persons of Pindorian Saeen shrine got an elderly arrested by the CIA police because this senior citizen parked his motorcycle before a shop without caring for these persons.

Two labourers Yousuf Khan and Shaista Rehman, residents of Pindorian were present outside the vegetable shop of their relative. Two motorcycle riders came there and they parked their motorcycle in front of the shop.

They were asked to remove their motorcycle in front of the shop. They took it negatively, exchanged hot words and scuffled. These two youths beat them mercilessly and then went away. They returned after 10 minutes accompanied by some persons and started thrashing the labourers. After half an hour three policemen in plain clothes came there in a car and lifted the labourers, handcuffed them and took them away to the CIA centre in I-9.

ASI Haider Ali Shah lifted two citizens as if they were involved in a terror related case. The family members of these two labourers started searching for them. They reached the Khanna Police Station and Khanna police showed their ignorance. They returned to Pindorian shrine and the attackers’ party told them that the police had taken their relatives to the CIA centre. However both the parties talked the matter over and reached a compromise at the shrine. The two groups reached the CIA centre to secure the release of the two labourers.

ASI Haider Ali Shah was harassing them. Police ASI Shah Jee Haider said to the labourers that he could send them to jail for one year by instituting a false case of recovery of one kilogram charas. These labourers were released after giving Rs 8000 as bribery. He also threatened them that if they disclosed it to any one then they would be implicated in some heinous crime and sent to jail.

Rizwan Khattak, close relative of the affected persons,Shaista Khan and Yousuf Khan demanded of the police to take notice of the highhandedness of ASI Haider Ali Shah.

When Daily Times contacted to ascertain his stance the ASI did not attend the telephone call.
