  • Police to wear uniforms with cameras to restore public faith

    The Islamabad Police will now be donning uniforms with cameras in order to restore public faith in law enforcement.   

    According to reports, Islamabad Policemen will now record encounters with ordinary citizens, suspects, witnesses, and passersby so that the public faith is restored in the law enforcement agency. The videos that have been recorded can also be used as evidence at the courts also.

    Islamabad Inspector General of Police (IGP) Muhammad Aamir Zulfiqar, speaking about the initiative said, “These cameras will be connected with the Safe City Project. This way, complaints about policemen especially serving at police pickets will be resolved.”

    Twenty cameras will be bought in the trial phase, which will later be provided to cops serving at various police stations in the city. Video recordings of police’s interaction with the public would make officials act politely and responsibly as they are often blamed for taking bribes and being rude with the citizens.

    Father of the suspected child rapist, who was arrested on Tuesday and confessed to having abused at least 30 children, has said that he would fight his son’s case while boasting of his family’s connections within the army.

    Rawalpindi police on Tuesday arrested Sohail Ayaz from the city’s Rawat area for allegedly running a child pornography group and live-streaming videos of the sexual assaults over the dark web.

    Ayaz is suspected to have kidnapped and raped multiple children.

    In a viral video that started doing rounds over the internet following Ayaz’s arrest, Sohail’s father was seen complained that his son’s face had not been hidden by the police, which had brought shame to his family.

    He said that he would fight his son’s case to the very end, adding that he had connections in high places. “We have around two dozen high-profile army officers in the family,” the suspect’s father can be seen telling the person recording the video.

    “The police’s press conference brought shame to the family,” he added.

    He also denied the claim that he had disowned his son and maintained the police must have “tortured him into confessing to the crimes”.

    WATCH VIDEO:

    According to Rawalpindi City Police Officer (CPO) Captain Faisal Rana, the alleged sexual predator has confessed to raping at least 30 minors and was earlier deported from both Britain and Italy after serving jail sentences for similar crimes.

    CPO Rana noted that the suspect was employed at a child protection institution in Britain and it was there that he started sexually abusing children. Pictures and videos were recovered from the arrested suspect.

    The latest of Ayaz’s crimes was when he raped a labourer’s daughter, police have said, stressing that more confessions were expected from him. Some reports indicate that he drugged and sexually assaulted a 13-year-old boy for four days and filmed the traumatic ordeal to threaten the child.

    Further, Rawalpindi Police citing CPO Rana mentioned on Twitter that police would register cases of child abuse on its behalf if the survivors’ parents were unable to do so due to societal pressure.

  • Woman commando with henna on hands breaks the internet

    Woman commando with henna on hands breaks the internet

    The picture of a woman commando of Punjab’s Elite Force, holding a gun in her hands with henna tattoos, has gone viral over the internet.

    The image, first shared by self-proclaimed security analyst Zaid Hamid, took social media by storm on Tuesday.

    https://twitter.com/ZaidZamanHamid/status/1150842268162699273

    “Super cute… Hina on hands and guns in hands… on duty Pakistani girls… [sic],” he wrote while tweeting the image that has now gone viral. Hamid also wondered if the commando had recently gotten married.

    The image has been receiving mixed reaction on Twitter.

    The Elite Force of Punjab Police specialises in counter-terrorist operations and VIP security duties. It is known for acting against serious crimes and performing high-risk operations that can’t be carried out by the regular police.

    According to information released by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) in 2010, women first became part of the police force in the subcontinent in 1939 when seven female constables and a head constable were inducted to contain female agitators of a farmers’ movement in Punjab.

    There was no significant change in numbers until 1952 when 25 constables, two head constables and an assistant superintendant were recruited.

    Inclusion of women to Pakistan’s anti-terror squads was initiated in the 1990s. With women joining the force in large numbers over the years, the trend has continued since.

    In October 2001, less than a month after the 9/11 attacks, the first women-only anti-terror squad was established in the country.
