Taking notice of alleged police highhandedness, Punjab Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi removed CIA DIG Malik Liaquat from his post and ordered registeration of a case against those involved in vandalising in Doctors’ Hospital and torturing journalists.
The S&GAD on Monday issued a notification of Malik Liaqat’s removal. He has been made OSD.
CIA police raided Doctors’ Hospital and subjected journalists, to severe torture when they reached there on information that the police took duty doctors, paramedical staff and patients hostage. Malik Liaqat reportedly led the “police operation”.
Police officials in plain clothes assaulted and abused the hospital staff and their vandalism hindered service to patients.
Police tortured reporters and cameraman in the presence of Malik Liaquat, who went there to cover the hostage taking incident late night. Police snatched cameras, equipment and mobile phones from ‘Dunya News’ staffers.
