PTI Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan accused IGP Islamabad Dr Akbar Nasir Khan, SSP Operations Malik Jamal Zafar, and District Commissioner Irfan Nawaz Memon of violating human rights and committing torture against PTI workers.

He vowed that the police would be held accountable for their “transgressions and human rights abuses”, adding that the party would conduct an audit of their accounts by summoning them to PAC, the privileges committees, human rights committees and the interior committee.

“We will see if, during this period, they fulfilled their primary duty of protecting the public,” he added. However, Mr Ayub stated that instead of fulfilling their primary duty and working against dacoits and crimes, they had only one mission: to crush the PTI.

Similarly, he added, the KP government would conduct an audit of the provincial police’s performance. “We will check their audit paras and performance; the abuses they committed against the people of PTI.”
