On Sunday, Fawad Chaudhary, the leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) official, announced that cases would be registered against police officers who were involved in the “”illegal”” operation at Imran Khan’s residence at Zaman Park. The former information minister took to Twitter to express his concerns and stated that Punjab police had defied court orders and violated the sanctity of Khan’s home.
Chaudhary accused the police personnel of stealing things from Imran Khan’s residence and torturing innocent people during the operation. He further added that in a meeting held on Sunday, the legal team had been called to take legal action against the police officers who conducted the illegal operation and were involved in violence.
The incident in question took place on Saturday when Punjab police conducted a raid at Imran Khan’s Lahore residence, hours after he had left for Islamabad to attend the Toshakhana case hearing. The police had a search warrant from the Anti-Terrorist Court Lahore. However, Chaudhary claimed that the way in which the police defied the Lahore High Court’s decision and entered Imran Khan’s residence had trampled every rule of the sanctity of a home.
The PTI official’s statement has sparked outrage among supporters of Imran Khan, who have demanded justice for the violation of the sanctity of his home and police brutality. The incident has also raised questions about the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies in Pakistan and the need for proper guidelines to prevent such violations.
In conclusion, the decision to register cases against the police officers who conducted the illegal operation and violated the sanctity of Imran Khan’s residence is a crucial step towards ensuring justice and holding the responsible authorities accountable. The incident highlights the need for law enforcement agencies to follow proper protocols and guidelines to avoid the use of excessive force and prevent violations of individuals’ fundamental rights.
