The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) police registered a FIR against Pakistan Army officials who allegedly roughed up four officials of the National Highway and Motorway Police (NHMP) on the Grand Trunk Road over being issued a ticket for reckless driving.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has issued a statement on Monday (today), saying the investigation into the scuffle that broke out a couple of days ago between security personnel and motorway police is underway.
Referring to the scuffle between officials of Motorway Police and two young army officers, an ISPR spokesman said the matter is being investigated. “Law will take its course in disposing of the case and justice will be done.”
The motorway police signalled to stop two vehicles near the Jahangira Town on the GT Road. However, the drivers did not pay any heed and sped away. Later, the two vehicles were intercepted near Itefaq Kanta where the travellers introduced themselves as security personnel.
The alleged suspects then called more security personnel to the scene in a bid to intimidate the motorway police. According to initial reports, the NHMP personnel were first roughed up and then taken to Attock Fort, where they were kept under unlawful detention for a while before being finally released, sources added.
Later, the four injured officials of the motorway police, including Inspector Mohsin Toru, Head Constables Jalal Shah and Atif Khattak and driver Shah Zeb, were taken to the District Headquarters Hospital in Nowshera for treatment and medico-legal examination.
Prevailing Laws on the National Hwys. must be enforced regardless who happens to be the culprit/s breaking them and that's the only way every Road User will obey them. Conditions must not be created where some section of the population has immunity from obeying them. It should be obvious to everyone that nobody and this means nobody is above the law. This course of action will bring this country under the Progressive countries circle where the Law reigns supreme.
We have always found Army personnel to be law abiding and law enforcement personnel also give due respect to them. Incident is under investigation therefore, I would avoid commenting. Else I'd appear as ugly as Nasim Zehra and other journalists who jumped on the bandwagon to defame armed forces.
