SIALKOT, July 11: Carrying out the Lahore High Court order, Daska Saddar police registered a murder case against three SHOs for allegedly killing an innocent youth in a fake encounter near Daska on May 21.

The complainant alleged that the three accused SHOs had taken away her son from her house and later killed him in a fake police encounter.

She alleged that her son was killed soon after an incident in which nine armed accused got freed two absconders by attacking on a police van near BRB Canal in Daska.

The complainant further alleged that the accused SHOs and other police officials had forced her family to leave the village. Upon their return after two months, they found that the police had taken away TV sets, refrigerators and other valuables from their houses, which were badly damaged as well.
