The SHO and six other policemen accused of parading a couple naked on the streets have been handed over to police on 14-day judicial remand.
The accused SHO was brought to court premises on front seat of the vehicle without handcuffs – a condition contrary to one reserved for criminals – while the six policemen were properly handcuffed. A rather haughty and arrogant SHO showed his complete disregard for the holy month of Ramadan as he smoking publicly with large visible puffs. Besides, he was also offered a chair to sit comfortably and a mobile phone facility in his lock-up. The couple, Mumtaz, Uzma, and Suhbat, arrested under charges of consuming alcohol, were booked on the night of 27th July, and were forced to parade naked for a kilometer from the site of arrest to Gumbat Thana.
