CJ slams DPO over torture, killing of brothers
CJP has slammed DPO Sialkot over torture and killings of the victims and demanded arrests in the case.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on Thursday directed police to arrest the culprits involved in the murder of two young brothers in Sialkot and appointed a former LHC judge, Kazim Malik, to hold a detailed inquiry into the gruesome incident.
During the course of hearing of the suo motu case, the CJP admonished DPO Sialkot Waqar Chohan and directed PPO Punjab Tahir Salim Dogor to take action against the police officials and present a report to both Registrar of the SC and the Lahore High Court on a daily basis.
The court also ordered strict action against investigation officer SP Muhammad Afzal and DPO Sialkot Waqar Chohan for negligence of their professional obligations as required by law.
The SC bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry was hearing the case of brutal murder of two innocent brothers Hafiz Mugheez Sajjad and Muneeb Sajjad. They were mercilessly beaten to death by villagers in front of area police and a mass gathering in Sialkot on Thursday (August 19).
The CJP observed that no one would be allowed to take the law into his own hands, adding that it was the responsibility of the police to stop the torturers. “No one present at the site took the moral initiative to stop them except two private TV channels,” the CJP observed, while admonishing the DPO for his professional negligence.
Establishment Secretary Ismaeel Qureshi, SP Investigation Muhammad Afzal, DPO Sialkot Waqar Chohan and others appeared before the court after being put on notice.
The video of alleged torture on the two brothers was shown during the proceedings.
“It does not happen in a civilised society. The responsible police officials should have been behind bars,” the judge remarked, while asking the DPO as to why not a single culprit has been nabbed till now.
“You are responsible for the killings and you should have been behind bars,” the CJP warned DPO Waqar Chohan.
The DPO, however, informed the court that the police have been conducting raids to arrest the culprits while SHO Saddar Rana Muhammad Ilyas has already been taken into custody. He informed the bench that he was not present at the time of the incident. The hearing was adjourned till September 1.

Extermely sad, this is the state of mind of us.
Even if they were robbers/thief’s, no civilized society gives anyone the right to extract justice on the road.
Now I know why we are ruled by leaders like the present & face Wrath of God like today we are facing.
I am totally disgusted by the actions of my fellow citizens & ashamed Pakistan is full of these kind of people.Recommend
it democracy and rule of law is supposed to be order of the Day.
SHO and whole hierarchy of Police is responsible and there should be same kind of public Chitrol for them.Recommend
Pakistan is FUBAR only because of people like this. totally ashamed calling our-self Pakistanis.Recommend
These people are ANIMALS in truest sense. All of those involved in the beating and killings should be hanged and all of the spectators including those 13 policemen and their SDO should be giving punishments accordingly. This is extremism in truest sense and it shouldn’t be tolerated.Recommend
This orgy of voilence is disgusting. Police by and large has become totally ineffective due to its corruption. they have no semblence of a uniformed force. punjab police is specially known for its brutalities and corruption.
Having said that, can judiciary be called effective and efficient. People take law in their hands because judiciary has failed to provide timely justice. It takes decades to get a half cooked decision from courts.
How far can supreme court stretch itsef. What is the job of lower courts where most of the time is wasted and injustice is done.
The Supreme Court has taken suo moto notice of the merciless lynching of two teenage brothers in Sialkot. I am sure some day they will also take suo moto notice of the merciless killings of Pashtuns in Karachi.Recommend
Its a shame ful act and must not be tolerated at any cost. All responsible shoould be brought to justice especially the police personals. They should not only be suspended as punishment rather they should be punished in true sense as their negligence or involvement in this tragedy led to the death of two innocents.Recommend
Zulm!Recommend
If we kept endorsing democracy, some day someone will legalize mob killings.Recommend
It was horrible to watch the video of barbaric action of these people to beat two brothers to death. My head was down in shame when aussie people asked me about this brutality in a Muslim country in front of so many peoples. People, responsible, should get severe punishment.Recommend
This shows the state of mind of people. If people doesn’t get justice within time and our police doesn’t acts professionally then this situation will not happen again. I still remember Karachi people who use to burn out looters because they knew that these looter if handed to police will be free after paying some bribe and the case will take ten years to settle giving results in favor of looters.
The only solution to it is a highly professional police and early justice. Probably these steps may change the state of mind of people.
Also our nation should also get matured. Electing corrupt people will not only bring injustice and poverty but will also increase anger in nation resulting such incidence to happen again.Recommend
We are not at all civilized nor to be called humans, we are rightly said by europe that we are Extrmist and terriorrist, so we should behave like un humans. I pray that this finish soon other wise our genrations will suffer for years and years and will go back in dark stone age. We have to lisent to others and to learn tolranceRecommend
The incident is said but we all are resposible what so ever happens in PAKISTAN. laws are formulated but never implemented in true spirit resulting absence of justice. police of our country mutilate the FIR just grease the palm of policeman. souo moto can not bring back two lives. justice delayed justice denied situation prevails unfortunately in our PAKISTAN, NEEDS ruthless accountability.Recommend

It is unbearable brutality. our country has gone back to stone age.
Because of the illitrate parliament of thieves and opprtunists.
These teams of thugs must be booted out.
The policemn and the killers must be hanged on rounabouts of the city. as alesson for others.
ASZRecommend
Let’s be positive about this NEWS. We should not issue sweeping statements against Pakistani Law or Police department. Such creatures exist everywhere, what we need is accountability. Good thing is although the guys have unfortunately lost their lives yet the case hasn’t gone unreported. Thanks to media for bringing this issue in limelight and CJ for taking prompt action.
There are hundreds of cases in smaller cities and villages that go unreported because media usually don’t cover those issues as they easily get enough ‘Masala’ news from big cities.
I hope Pakistani media will continue to uncover such cases throughout the country and help nation improve its flaws.Recommend
this is the face of our society we should worry about.Recommend
This is Pakistan.
A failed state bye all means!Recommend
As far as spectators are concerned, at least they should have recorded the protest.Recommend
I fully agree with the comments made by Shehryar. Being a Pakistani citizen, it is a matter of great shame for all of us that we belong to this barbarian society. Not only those people who actually physically tortured the two brothers but all those witnessing the scene are equally part of this crime. No social etiquettes no humanity. The scene becomes more horrible when we see the police presence. I strongly recommend to the authorities that, after seeing the clip, there remains no need for any departmental enquiry against the police personnel present on the scene, those should be not only sacked immediately but also be brought for judicial proceedings.
Thanks to the person who recorded the movie and provided to media. Also grateful to the Chief Justice for taking suo moto action.
I am confident that one day this crime would come to a logical and well-deserving end.Recommend
This is barbaric,the role of Police is highly irresposible and should be punished without any delay.Recommend
I am so shocked and saddened by this great loss of these young 2 souls. Parents raise their children with so much hardwork and some complete barbarians kill them in public on basis of alleged murder. Do they even have a proof of that?
The man beating one of the boys should be exactly tortured in the same way. He isnt human being let alone a muslim. The public watching and making videos are also involved in these murders. Im not appealing to the chief justice or prime minister we should all get together and fight such people.
Why hasn’t any action taken against those people who were doing such horrible deed. In fact i think they themselves were robbers and the boys must have found out so they decided to kill them so that they cant plead their case.
I REQUEST EXPRESS NEWS to please remain on this case and these criminals shouldnt be put behind bars but the boys parents should decide what to do wth the villagers and the men who were brutally mudering them.
May Allah helps boys parents and their (boys) souls rests in peace and in heaven ameen. The criminals should burn in hell and in this world.Recommend
well said tanzeel.
we are ashamed of society but hopeful tooRecommend
this is very sed news hamari police ko chahiye kah in killers ko inke anjam tak phonchaeRecommend
The media should not let go off this case but should not show the video of this heinous crime again and again as it can be quite painful for the parents and family of the deceased.Recommend
the people are cruel .they should deal their household matters at home instead of wearing off their anger on innocent people.Recommend
Do we deserve to be a nation?jangle law is being prtevauiled inthe country.believe me we should be prepared for a AZAB E ALLAHA.
obaidRecommend
Just could not get over it. Wonder how do people find the strength to do an act like this. Horrible!Recommend
well it is a sad incident…I think people who did this, others who are watching are responsible for this act of crime….i would say police the most because if they were able to provide the justice to people and also sense of security that these people will not be released in any case then it might not happened….People now does not believe in politics and also in security institutions.Recommend
the police man who were watching this incident should be given same kind of punishment in public and a leason for rest of police man that they are not exemption from law.Recommend
i request you if you have the potential do nt hesitate to kill such brutal elements otherwise such elements will become bold.Recommend
The ruthless beating and openly kiling two human beings,is enough an incident we must understand that we have no fear of God at all. All spectators including police guys present there are the criminals. Such lawlessnss and inhuman behaviours of we so called muslims of pakistan is the main cause of Allahs AZAAB on entire country in form of Floods all over.Recommend
very sad news this is very disgusting. it is un beqaten brutality. i feel shyme to being a pakistani i would like to say that being a pakistani we all gathered protest against these animals in face of human beings and thge police which were present at the time of wardaat of two young annocent brothers.Recommend
its very ruthless punishment to these innocent brother, i think its not a way to kill any muslim as they were doing. i ashamed on pakistani police because they were present and watching that scene which was very unbelievable. as far as crime is concerned this is not a way like that. tell me who will take action against them????? this will always a question mark in pakistan….Recommend
All these people involved this sad incident must not be tolreated and they must be given worst pusnishment to ensure such kind of brutality would not be repeated ever.
All the these policemen should be put in prison for life time. They were present and they could not do anything. Because of such people we are having floods.Recommend
This is the direct result of State encouraged/sponsered Police Encounters,which every one of us know are staged,this is further encourged by total lack of confidence in judical system, which has losst its trust in people mind.
How much notices have been taken on MOB justice in past , sadley none either by Executive or judicary .
LET US WAKE UP BEFORE WE TURN OURSELF AS MOB VICTIMS. which is no more remote possiblity.Recommend
Shame for Police and civilian who watch it and do nothing, and shame for govt. who is quite on the incidenceRecommend
it reveals that there is law & order in pakistan other than jungle,s law.the ruler &the responsible authorities should pull up their socks otherwise its results will be terribly dangrious.Recommend
all the relevant people responsible for this incidence should be hanged so as to present a hard and fast picture for the public not to take the law in their on hands.
Both brothers were innocent.Recommend
We call ourselves residents of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and Muslims. A Muslim nation created for the Muslims by the Muslims. Then we, Pakistanis, try to create a ‘soft’ image for Pakistan. Had this happened to a couple of Muslims in any other country we would be burning that country’s flag and effigies of that country’s president/prime minister. This tragic, barbaric, and inhumane incident took place in the holy month of Ramadan. Is this how low we have stooped? Is there no sense of civility, fear of the Almighty, and fear of the law? There was not one person in the crowd that tried to intervene, where is the morality? Although we love to blame the West, Zardari, Indians, RAW, Zionists, Satan, infidels, and everybody but ourselves for every wrong thing that happens in Pakistan – we cannot blame anyone else for this cruel incident. We are to be blamed since we have generally accepted this kind of behavior and allowed it to happen. Had we stopped this kind of behavior when it happened for the first time, we would not be witnessing such things now. Anyways, it is no use crying over spilt milk, we should learn something from this event and resolve to not let such things from happening again. The Chief Justice should confer the severest and harshest punishment for all those involved including the police and the witnesses. They are equally responsible for this event as those ‘animals’ that did it. I do not think they deserve to be called ‘humans’ by any definition of the word. May Allah (SWT) bless the souls of the deceased and forgive their sins as they have received enough punishment by these ‘animals’, Ameen!Recommend
Today I’m ashamed of being a pakistani. My heart bleeds for the parents of these two boys and I hope and pray that all the sick human beings involved in this heinous crime are taken to task in this world and in the HereafterRecommend
we all are animals normal people killed those boys and everyone was watching not just one person from the crowd tried to stop it no one is to be blamed we deserve it you are one’s who don’t vote your the one’s taking video clips of such incidents you didn’t stop it then who else you expect to do your dirty work just go on surf and type your comments you deserve this and stop blaming system and someone else we did it to ourselves no one else.Recommend
extremly shameful scene for all pakistanies, we are all animals, we have no right to observe roza and offer prayers, specially during the holy month of ramzan. May Almighty Allah rest their soul in eternal peace and solace their family to bear this loss. shame on all spectators sialkotisRecommend
Due to such bad people all Pakistan in punishment.
I want to same action with Police men.
where is our education and training system ?
Which can’t teach to Police men that what is value of a human.
Our Govt is responsible for such bad incidents .Recommend
For years our clerics have been calling innocent law-abiding people wajib-ul-qatil. And for years our society has tolerated this incitement to violence. The results of this tolerance are being manifested in this barbaric way.Recommend
This inhumane incident is yet another proof that Western imported style of governance is not an answer to the problems of our society.
One and only Islamic system of governance can Guarantee 100% justice in any society.
Democratic forces, be it in India, USA or Pakistan have failed to produce citizens with moral sense. We want a crime free society and that can be achieved only by practicing the Islamic Law.
These criminals MUST be punished in exactly the same way they tortured these two poor Hafiz-ul-Quran brothers.Recommend
I am very sad and shamed to say me a Pakistani Allah will do justice and peoples those was involved or watching live this bad incident will be asked at the time of Judgment day cause they was there for entertainment so so SHAMED on them.

My comments may seem a bit out of context here, I never make any comments, but since this situation has come to a point where someone atleast need to point out the general hypocrisy that consume us as a nation. All we want to do as a nation is to point fingers at others and blame them for all the evil that is happening, it is no exception here, the police, the govt, the system, the mob witnessing this barbaric incident are all culprits. A swift judgement from each and everyone of us and our job is done, we can sleep in peace now because after making our comments here, we have done our job and proved that we are such good people who point fingers at the evil ones. Would it not help if we scruitize ourselves as individuals and strive to be a better human being instead of pointing fingers at others and playing this blame game because individuals make up a society.Recommend
my head hangs in shame! i am ashamed that i am a pakistani.Recommend
I am extremely sad and feeling miserable since I got to know of this incident. Our country is now a perfect example of how people used to live in stone age. The nation still do not want to wake up from their slumber. Immensely corrupted, from top to bottom, rich to poor, rulers to common man, wrath of God was inevitable and same happened. Do not know what is the truth but the way things have happened is in no way allowed in any law neither in religion. All responsible, spectators, law enforcement agencies shall be punished to fullest. Though I am an optimist but have to say Pakistan is a failed state, and the ones ruling country today is because its AZAAB-E-Ilaahi for our sins, nation worse than animals.Recommend
This is THE CITY OF IQBAL to hell with these criminalsRecommend
Tears in my eyes, heart sinking.. Did anyone notice a little boy is also beating the victim with a stick? he is hardly 7-8 years old, is he going to have a good night sleep after this, Bring these two murderer a few with stone killing + policemen on screen interview and lets ask them how they feel now, when they will be beaten the same way in public for couple of minutes at least, off course there is no such law… in Pakistan.. How about the guy with beard and topi? Is he going to break his fast in the evening and enjoy the food? what about the victim’s little sister, she will remember this for life time and what about all of us? Are we jus keep commenting on these videos and blaming the govt? govt has nothing to do with this. This is what is Pakistani are at this moment in small towns and villages, listen to the background voices of Sialkot people; they are enjoying it all the way…Recommend
its unbearable.. :,Recommend
I cant help crying..what have we pakistanis become, murders happen everywhere but public and police doesnt watch and enjoy this way. arnt we like bani-isreal. I think time is not away when some other nation will occupy to mend us. May Allah Spare us and Have Mercy upon us.Recommend
everyone is saying the high police officials are responsible, who weren’t even present there, and probably found out about it after it occured. 12 police officials have been arrested. but no one arrested the people who actually hit the kids with sticks until they died. many a people have been shown in tv footage, they can be easily traced and the world has seen the proof. mohammad bilal iftikhar khan says that the SHO and other high officials should be subjected to public chitrol, again the public who tortured the boys to death will torture the police, they will torture any and every one that comes in their sight. they will themselves never learn because those public persons who actuall did it were never arrested and never taught a lesson. that is why we are only getting worse.Recommend
Its a shame!Recommend
I got sick and vomited when i saw the footage it is unbelievable, totally barbaric and inhuman all those persons beating the two innocent children and those standing aroung should be publically beaten till death .shame on Zardari,this is all due to him .Recommend
Barbaric nation . People killed two brothers , one of them was hafiz e Quran in Sailkot (Punjab, Pakistan) ploice was also there in so called holy month of ramadazan : i know now why flood come to Pakistan .God is 110% justified for his act .Recommend
Animals – especially those who were ENJOYING the TAMASHA.
…And then we take pride in being the followers of Islam…
No words to explain this savagery. Sad that the CJ took notice ONLY after the video surfaced on the electronic media. The news had been reported in the newspapers on the 16th. He should keep a regular check on the newspapers along with tv channels.Recommend

This is the ultimate outcome of failure of governance by the corrupt politicians, bureaucracy and of people’s frustration.
Seeds of a definite bloody revolution are being sown. The crop depends upon the quality of seeds.
God protect this land of the pure and its people from anarchy, devastation, instability and collapse.Recommend
After seeing this incidence I have personally concluded that we are animals, not humans. Our souls are dead, not alive. We have no value of a person’s life. We do not look at other women as someones mother/sister/daughter/wife. We do not think that any man is also someone’s father/son/brother/husband.
We are The Pakistan. The Muslims, Christians, Hindus and Sikhs. The Punjabis, Sindhis, Balochis and Pathans. The barbarian land of 160 million people who consider themselves to be the dearest land of the Lord. The people, who do not value Humanity. The land of insane people who despite watching all the lawlessness in their country are not ready to do anything about it. Everyone in this land least cares about any human being. We Pakistanis are said to be strong from the inside. We do not fear to go out even if our streets are being bombed/citizens being shot at. In actual, its not the strength in the Pakistani people. Its in fact, the insensitivity that has developed after seeing years of lawlessness, corruption, injustice and violence that each and every Pakistani sees around him/her everyday.
Its the pride in us of being something supernatural that has driven us crazy. People need to wash off their minds with the fact that, we as Pakistanis do not have anything in our own hands. We are not even able to defend our country on our own, we are not even able to feed the people or to treat the sick people with our own money; then what is it that makes us so proud?
Its the pride in each individual that has driven them crazy. Proud of being a Pakistani/Arab/Persian/, pride of being a Punjabi/Sindhi/Pathan, pride of being a Rajput/Chaudhary/Syed/Mughal, pride of being a MUSLIM; pride of ones knowledge/status/money/car/house; pride of each and every single thing that one possesses.
Oh ALLAH k Bandoo!! Pride has been your biggest enemy since the start of Humanity. Why does everyone forsake the pride and Satanic Rebellion against the Lord when Angels were ordered to bow to Adam (A.S) and Lucifer denied. Why do we Muslims are proud of so many things when in actual ALLAH Subhana Wa Ta’la bade us to be proud. I ask why? ALLAH Subhana Wa Ta’la has given us numerous examples of wrath that HE sent for the nations that were proud. At numerous places, we are told that on the day of judgment, no one will be spared of if he/she has pride equal to the size of an ant/an atom.
When will we then open our eyes? When will we be stop being proud? When will we then become normal human beings? When??Recommend
Now, people who killed both brothers, should be set 25 years behind the jail at-least with no facilities. this will be called, Justice.Recommend
i am angered and appalled at the behaviour of the pakistani community who behaved in an animalistic manner and there was no one available to stop these people carrying out the torture. you can see clearly there are 100s of people standing right next to the attack and watching as if a show being played. did none of their hearts cry out for those two kids and did no one fear allah at that moment to intervene and stop the attack. all i can say is it is the blessed month of ramadan where blessings are showered on mo-min muslims. but do you really think all will bless the pakistani people for this kind of behaviour.
i spit in the face of our leaders – police force – and those people standing by for letting this behaviour take place.
may allah guide us all and enhance our love for our people and feel their pain in the same way. ameen sum ameenRecommend
I dont have word to say on this type of acts of police and peoples. All peoples must be hanged openly so that other peoples can learn.
I am feeling really shame on being Pakistani.Recommend
This is sad incident, but it is said that these two yougsters were escaping after committing a murder.
Please dont blame Pakistan for this…..There are 100 times more incidents like this one in India, Iran, central Asian countries, US etc.Recommend
Its a shamful accident for all pakistaniRecommend
This incident is something unthinkable and can not be acceptable from ‘Humans’ especially in the holy month of Ramadan. my thoughts are with the victims family i pray Allah to give them courage to over come this great loss.
However it is to be seen how our ever highly corrupt inefficient Police going to catch the culprits whose faces can be seen clearly in number of videos..if these people can no be caught and brought to justice by exemplary punishment then there is no use of all those CCTVs fixed on important roads in all the major cities????????Recommend
am very sad and shamed to say me a Pakistani Allah will do justice and peoples those was involved or watching live this bad incident will be asked at the time of Judgment day cause they was there for entertainment so so SHAMED on them.

The CJ has taken notice. Question is what will happen ? Answer is nothing. Our judicial system is in shambles like the rest of the country.
I am and will always be proud to be a Pakistani but I am deeply ashamed of the people who are at the helm of affairs of this country.Recommend
This is hight of every thing , which should not be tolerate at all, responsilbe persons should be hanged, So sad, hight of cruelty…What ever the situation in a civilized socity no one has right to do that.Recommend
How come people can kill the two brothers and police remained there at the crime scene as silent spectator?
All those people who were beating the two brothers with sticks due to which the victims died should arrested under section 302 and the police officials who were witnessing the crime should also be booked under the same penal code section, as they are equally responsible in killing the two brothers instead of saving their lives.
The authorities should also apprehend people who gathered to witness the crime scene and punish them for not raising their voice against the brutal action of the killers.
Justice should be done through a speedy trail court so that such incidents should not be repeated again any where in the country.Recommend
shame for police who watch and do not do anything on the incidenceRecommend
The brutal killing of the two innocent brothers in Sialkot proves that the protectors of Pakistani society (police) do not deserve any soft handling rather be brought to justice not inside courtroom but at the same place with same baton and die with same pain — be hanged to give our nation a new vision to justice.Recommend
this is truely sad and disgusting.the persons who were beating and people who were waching,they are all animals.no one from the crowd tried to stop this cruelty.shame for all of them and especially for the police.its happened in front of them and they did nothing.i am really feeling sad for these inocent victoms and their families.May Allah rest their souls in heaven and give courage their families to cope with thier sorrow.my thoughts and feelings are with them.these murderers should be treated the same way as they did with these two innocent and poor guys.Recommend
I saw this footage last night on a news channel and since then I am in great unbearable pain. This is the worst nightmare of my life. Even double dose of tranquilizers could not put me to sleep. Is this society worth living in? Were those present at the scene of this butchery were humans or beasts in the garb of humans? Whom can I trust in this country? Police, people. I guess none. I am seriously considering leaving this country, which is full of senseless, ruthless human like creatures. Even a jungle might be a better place. I am in deep shock and my guilt of growing up with these emotionless animals is killing me. What and where went wrong with this nation? Even most peaceful and loving religion could not tame the animals living within.Recommend
Its a really really very much ashamed & a open terror (gunda gardi) which these people are doing with innocent persons the peopels involved on this & the peopels who was present at the site they should punished & who act this animal act including police mans which were presents should return hang like them.Recommend
worse police on the spot shuld punish insted of suspension they must be hang on the same spotRecommend
It is very very shameful for the present govt.that this kind of cruelty is spreading throughout the country specially in this situation when all Pakistanis including govt. should be united together to take out Pakistan from this disaster, but still nothing is going on except the increase in crimes.Recommend
Such a shameful deed i haven’t ever seen before. so called Muslim state with hi-brutal acts.. shame on being Pakistani and being a Muslim it doesn’t suits us. thats y ppl call us terror bcoz of such happenings.. Really shamefulRecommend
this is terrible!! Look at the huge crowd , not even a single person came forward to stop this brutal act?Recommend
the killers should be hanged till death in front of public,so next time the same story dont get repetedRecommend
Its a limit of cruilty.Recommend
I think all the big mouths on the media who cant get tired praising Pakistani youth as Iqbals’ shaheens and that we will raise Paki flag on lal qila, liberate Palestine, defeat Israel in short conquer the world etc etc should open their eyes and see their vultures….by chance today I just saw DG Khan killings video and was just thinking that we are beyond animals now. I came to know about this watching a current affairs talk show.
The only thing similar I’d seen before was a you tube video titles hindu mob killing muslims. I havent seen any video footage before but from the news I am sure similar things would’v heppened in lawless african regions as well.
Pakistan was name in the name of Islam and the reason we’v lost is because we have lost that basis. Now unfortunately we need to learn how to be human before we can think about being muslims…..Recommend
It is shame for all for us that two innocent young students were brutly killked in presence of Police and other law encorcement agencies. Is this is our Pakistan ? The boys belongs to a very noble, religious and respectable family. May Allah rest their souls in peace.AmeenRecommend
Apne aap se nazrain nai milai jaa rahi! All these policemen should be tried as accomplices to murder!Recommend

this inhumane act was enjoyed by a large gathering. . no one including the police stopped them from this brutal act. . . the whole crowd is responsible for the act. . . even if they were guilty of shoting a man (which is not yet proved) nobody has the right to pass judgements on his own . . these kind of acts show the lawlessness of our society . .

I’m speechless, angry, and very sad for the loss of two innocent lives. First of all I make dua for the two deceased brothers for their maghfirat. Secondly, we as a nation should lean some vital lessons from this truly horrific incident. Some people calling for immediate arrest and hangged of all the people involved in this grusome incident. To me that will not solve the future repetation of this kind of incidents. To prevent such an incident we have to have strong law enforcement system so that no one will dare to think of such an act but if they dare to do that then swift legal system will take control of such an individual. This how the system works here in the UK and this how it used to work in the olden days of muslim empires.
In this whole incident the distrubing thing is image of heartless people enjoying the brutality. Who are we?Recommend
all people should be stoned to death. we literally asking HIS wrath/anger as we continue doing it. we have demolished the very foundations of this country by not implemented justice.

This is a very sad incident and reveals the truth that rulers and ruled people have same cruelty. In the past our rulers killed people in a mosque and whole country was a silent viewer and throng of it. No one utter a single word and show action or protest on it.
Now the cruelty and blood shed started from Lal masjid has been spread through the whole country. People like rulers has started killing each other.
We have make our points and cash a lot of fame on so-called Taliban’s fake videos. But what about this real and tangible video. Killing of two young guys is shameful act for the whole Pakistan. Even if they were culprit they must have been prosecuted.
This is a usual trend that we Pakistanis fight over games like Cricket, Hockey and football showing disdain to the rivals. We use abusive language during the play. Games are for relax but we play them for life and death.
What is this all? this is the disaster due to our culprit and corrupted acts. This is the punishment from the Almighty ALLAH over our sins and proud on doing them.
Our Lord and God, Ya ALLAH pleas forgive us and help us. Where our nation is going. Please save us from the way towards fire and fightings.Recommend

The killers were not human. They deserve to be hanged. The spectators and policemen deserve prison sentences. I do not know what kind of people can do this or watch this happen. Even animals are better than this.Recommend
It is a shame. It looks as if people in Pakistan have lost their mental sanity. Whether there is load shedding or price hikes, it is now customary for people to go out on roads damage public property or disrupt traffic by burning tires. These kind of people are animals, perhaps even something worse than that. Truly shameful incident. The way those poor kids were thrashed and killed reflect a pathetic image of Pakistanis.Recommend
“Outrageous”
This incident is beyond Natural disasters, where is the humanity, what happened to the brother hood and most of all where was the conscious of all those who were watching like a shooting of movie.
Our great religion does not teach us what we have witnessed in the pictures and movie.
Where is our “IMAN” and brother hood of those who were watching like a puppet show?
“Allah Akbar” Most of us can not handle the scene by watching on website but people present at the scene did not show any sympathy or emotions at all
Oh Allah please gives us Hidayat and has Merci on us.
Worst on top of everything, that the LAW of the land was watching it as calmly as the other spectators.
This is merciless, cold hearted killings and along with the killers I would like to hold responsible to those who were at the scene and didn’t even try to stop the incident.
I hope that officials will take a serious action towards killers, Policemen present and the public at the scene.
May Allah FORGIVE those two brothers and send them directly to Jannah and give their loved once the patience to deal with their Loss (Ameen)Recommend
The footage should be removed from the web and not shown on TV. Kids watch TV for heaven’s sake! Their family and friends will be in pain watching it over and over again on news channels.

After watching the video and going though comment sections? Few questions arise in my mind.
1. People who are doing this?
2. Role of spectators who were watching all this?
3. What is the role of Muslim he similar things happened in front of his eyes?
4. Perspective of ISLAM and what our prophet Muhammad (PBUH) told us to do in this situation? I like to quote ahadit here “*Whoever amongst you sees an evil should change it with his hand. If he is unable to do that then with his tongue. If he is unable to do that, then with his heart, and that is the weakest level of Iman*.” [Muslim] We being a Muslim are not aware of this responsibility. We consider that we are only responsible for our grave. On the “Day of Judgment” we will not be asked by Allah for our actions and responsibilities? Unfortunately we live in a country where we consider PAKISTAN first rest afterwards and lives life the way of our heart and forget ths way of ISLAM (Qur’an and Sunnah). As Ummah we stop doing “amr-bil-Ma’roof and nahi anil munkar”. Brother please stop blaming your leaders for this lawless situation please try to understand that our leaders are the byproduct of this democrtic system pls. DONT EXPECT ANY GOOD FROM THEM. Oppression of this type is everywhere in our country. The only solution is to struggle for establishing Islamic system in the country. Once the “Qur’an and Sunnah” is supreme law and it is implemented in real sense, then no one will have the power to repeat killing like this. May Allah give us the courage to stop Zulm by Hand parctice “amr-bil-Ma’roof and nahi anil munkar”. Ameen

after watching this horrible video of the murder of the two innocent brothers i feel ashamed to be Pakistani ,think we are afraid of watching this vedio, but what happened to their family after watching them in this condition , was for this day our great leaders work and a lot of sacrifices was given to get freedom ,to live a happy and free life , without tension and extremism.the stupid dogs who beat them and the people who watch this incident were also involved in this matter , Allah will ask them in this world and after it. i am shocked to see our government that the police officers or rulers are also involved in it , our government just take a little bit action but don”t do it properly ,ya this is our government , i have never seen any just in it in my whole life , it is our doings fruit that the flood bigger than tsunami have come on us , may Allah help us in all matersRecommend
the people who were beating and all of them who are viewing this incident also need the same type of beating. they have no mercy for them even in the month of ramzan .. they all are more then animals . some one should come in front and stop all this noncence . and all the police officers stood their should be hung in the chock .. this act is more then that we saw taliban doing .. do we have justice . if iftikhar chaudhary unable to provide justice to the victum family he has no right to stay in the supreme court .. this type of incident show that we are nothing, what we are getting from US and other nations is right. we deserve drown attacks and we deserve terrorism. and also we deserve floods and other type of Gods affats. i am shamed to be a pakistani .. i request iftikhar chaudhary to give justice as soon as possible and also hang the DPO of sialkot ..Recommend

Just came across a detailed post on this and really liked the following response by the author Mr. Omer Zaheer Meer

AoA All,
This is a shameful and brutal act which should be condemned to the fullest but also actions should be taken to ensure such incidents are never repeated.
@ Afra
I understand just like everyone else this incident would have deeply disturbed you. However in unfortunately the way you have implied entire nation to be inhuman is totally unjustified. Such cruel incidents are not limited to the villages of Pakistan but the entire region including India, Bangladesh, Burma and Nepal.
And indeed this is a result of being far from the teachings of Islam like tolerance, forgiving, putting yourself in other’s shoes, treating all muslims as one family besides others, none of which were present there.
And all is not well in the west. Even this extreme brutality cannot match the extremes gang culture in west results in. For a reality check I invite you to visit North London on a weekend after 9 PM or for that matter many neighbourhoods of Newyork. Even the slums of Paris would give you a taster.
Leave aside gang culture, rascism (differing extent but same phenomenon as the curse of baradari system in South Asian region) leads to similar and worse atrocities. The last cultural capital of Europe, Liverpool is testament to it.
Let us get out of this self-pity and see things as they are. Yes this is a barbaric and shameful act and all implicit should be served with Capital Punishment. However, this does NOT represent the entire Pakistani nation. My point of contention is that we are, on a whole, as a nation, decent regular people, with our bad bits like any other nation in the world. But we have a lot of good things about us too.
May Allah rest the soul of the killed in peace and give their families courage to deal with the tragedy. Let us all do all we can to ensure that justice is served to those implicit in these atrocities.
Below are some of the relevant news related to the incident:

Part 2
@ afra
Thanks for the reply. Totally agreed with the stance that such acts cannot be accepted in any civilised society and I’d add that this disgraceful incident is completely contrary to Islamic teachings. Not just innocents, even the criminals should be served justice by law. It is the right of the state to serve punishments. The problem is when the state institutions become corrupt and incompetent, people start taking matters in their own hands.
However at the time of incident from what information I have received till now, it was established among the mob that these kids were part of a gang involved in a recent incident in which one person died and some including a kid were injured.
The person (said to be the elder brother of the person killed) who is said to had a brawl with these brothers over a cricket match is the one who directed the angry mob as to them being the robbers, is the prime culprit. Than the entire police team specially the officers there are responsible and should be bought to justice. One of the most shocking thing to come out is that the police directed the mob to “finish them off”.
The worst thing was the attitude of Police which has bought out in open the main problem with the current judicial system, i.e. the execution machinery (police) is largely not only incompetent but driven more by emotions than professionalism.
In the end, see this video which explains a little more about the incident than what is more widely reported by larger media houses like Geo:
