Motive Unknown: Traffic police thrash education official

HANGU: A matric exam controller and his brother were thrashed by the police in Hangu on Saturday. Shafqat Munir told The Express Tribune he was travelling on Hangu-Kohat Road with his brother, Rustam Khan, when the incident occurred. A group of traffic policemen clad in plain clothes flagged down their vehicle and began thrashing them. According to Munir, they went to a police station to register a case against the incident. However, the police were reluctant to register an FIR. He urged IGP Nasir Khan Durrani and Kohat DIG Akhtar Hayat Gandapur to take action against the policemen. He threatened to take the matter to court if action was not taken immediately.
