Warburton police arrested one of their colleagues on Monday for allegedly raping a teenage boy in the police station. The alleged rape victim was taken into custody on Wednesday in a mobile phone theft case.
The rapist, the moharar of the police station, took the boy from the lockup to a room and raped him. Station House Officer (SHO) Yaqoob Virk and other officials were alerted by the cries of the boy and they rushed to rescue him.
Nankana DPO Shehzad Sultan has also suspended the SHO from service and ordered a case against him for keeping the boy in the lock-up without any case for three days. He said the SHO should have produced him before a judicial magistrate right after taking him into custody.
