POLICE INQUIRY: A top-level police inquiry has been launched into a scuffle between a policeman of Special Branch and armymen guarding Jinnah Public Park.
According to the police, a clash between constable of Special Branch Imran Haider and security guards of Jinnah Park started when the former along with his brother tried to enter the park on Saturday.
