PESHAWAR, Dec 11: A local lawyer and an activist of the Pakistan People’s Party, Mohammad Khursheed Khan, on Tuesday served a legal notice of Rs100 million on two police officers for allegedly raiding his house and beating him up on Nov 3.

Addressing a news conference at the Peshawar Press Club, he said that a heavy contingent of police headed by Gulbahar DSP Waqas Ahmed scaled down the walls of his house with ladders in contravention of local culture.

Mr Khan made headlines when he had sprayed the face of state counsel Ahmed Raza Kasuri with black ink outside the Supreme Court two months ago.

The Islamabad police had registered a case against him, but he got a pre-arrest bail.

Mr Khan alleged that the police officials beat him up severely.

He said police also manhandled him in the Crime Investigation Agency’s centre in Peshawar.

Mr Khan said police sent him to the Haripur prison, where he suffered a lot owing to his knee fracture.

He said the jail authorities took him to the Ayub Medical Complex for medical tests and x-rays of the broken knee cap. He said he could not walk owing to the fracture.

“I will need a hand-stick for the rest of my life. My doctors has asked me not to climb the stairs and use the stick in right hand,” he said.
