Why cover their faces?

Published January 14, 2013

AS is done with all criminals, I wonder why the faces of suspects Nawab Siraj Ali Talpur, Nawab Sajjad Ali Talpur and Murtaza Lashari in the Shahzeb murder case were covered by the police when they were produced in  court.

Their faces should have been shown to the world. They should have been all chained up. This way people can actually see the culprits and the police will have to present the real suspects.

We really don’t know if the persons with their faces covered were the actual suspects or they were, in fact, having a cup of tea at home and watching someone else being presented in the court.

The media should demand from the police that faces of criminals should not be covered when they are presented before the media and courts.
