RAWALPINDI, June 12: Lahore High Court (LHC) Rawalpindi Bench Judge Justice Syed Sajjad Hussain Shah here on Monday directed the Punjab home department to produce the detention orders of a senior PPP activist and also asked the city police officer (CPO) to explain the action through assistant advocate general (AAG) Punjab.

The court has instructed the home department to present the detention orders of Rasheed Mir before it next week and asked CPO Syed Murrawat Ali Shah to explain the police highhandedness through the AAG Punjab and conduct an inquiry into the raid.

The judge issued these directives while hearing a petition filed by Mohammad Naveed Mir, son of Rasheed Mir (70) who was arrested by police from his residence four days ago during the recent hold-up in the city.

The petitioner through his counsel Shah Khawar advocate had moved the high court challenging the detention of his father. The petitioner has also alleged that the police broke into their house while his mother was offering Fajr prayers and misbehaved with her and abducted his father from his bedroom.
