A sessions judge on Thursday ordered the Satellite Town police to register a case against five people, including an assistant sub inspector (ASI), for depriving a man of cash and valuables, and beating him.
ASI Umer Hayat Cheema of the Sajid Shaheed police is accused of attacking Muhammad Mumtaz in front of the General Bus Stand two week ago and later detaining him at a hotel room. Mumtaz said the ASI had snatched a mobile phone and Rs150,000 from him and threatened him with dire consequences if he reported this to the police.
Mumtaz said he had approached the Satellite Town police station, but the SHO had refused to register a complaint against Cheema.
He said he then filed a petition at Additional Sessions Judge Jameel Ahmad Chaudhry’s court. During Thursday’s hearing, the court ordered the Satellite Town police to register an FIR against the ASI and the four people who had helped him. Our correspondent
