The post-mortem report revealed there were bruises caused by torture besides bullet injuries on Imran’s body, adding the duration of torture was six hours.
Imran’s brother, Mirza Luqman, also alleged in a press conference on Tuesday the police arrested Imran from Sameejabad on Monday afternoon. He also alleged the police killed two innocent citizens by declaring them dacoits.
The other alleged dacoit had been identified as Amir, resident of Sahiwal, who had come to his relatives in Shah Rukn-i-Alam Colony, A block, for seven days. The police reportedly arrested him on Monday.
