SHO in Lahore forced a man in custody to bark like a dog. The video of the inhumane torture of SHO Badami Bagh Lahore emerged on social media on Thursday.
SHO is identified as Asif Jabbar in the video. The video shows SHO assaulting the man lying on the floor and screaming at him to bark like a dog. The helpless man is heard making the sound of a dog barking.
“I am a dog, whao, whao,” the frightened man can be heard responding to the question when SHO asked, “Who are you?”
Journalist Imran Bhatti has allegedly shared the video on his Twitter account. In his tweet, he said, “Humiliation of humanity in Lahore The SHO of Badami Bagh police station kept forcing the citizen to bark like a dog and subjected him to worst torture. The SHO should not be suspended. He should be dismissed from the department and the punishment should be given separately.”
