LAHORE:  

An additional district and sessions judge on Saturday sought comments from Sherakot SHO on a petition, filed by a woman seeking the registration of a case against three policemen. Petitioner Samina Bibi said that on May 26, SHO Khawaja Hassan Raza, ASI Khalil Ahmed and Iftikhar Ahmed took her and three other women, Saima, Maria and Ayesha, to the police station. “They did not tell us what we were suspected of. They frisked us. Later, they beat us up,” she said. She requested the court to direct the police officials to register an FIR against the three policemen.
