CHICHAWATNI (News Desk): In a brazen act of lawlessness, a Punjab Elite Police official was severely tortured by a local gang at the “Bahir Wala Adda” within the jurisdiction of City Police Station, Chichawatni. The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, highlighting the deteriorating security situation at local transport hubs.
Details of the Brutal Attack
The victim, identified as Ali Raza, is a young official of the Punjab Elite Police currently stationed at CCD Sahiwal. According to reports, Raza was intercepted by a group of local miscreants at the bus stand. The gang launched a coordinated assault, using:
Wooden clubs and sticks
Iron rods
The officer sustained severe injuries, particularly to his head, leaving him in a critical state. He was immediately rushed to Civil Hospital Chichawatni for emergency medical treatment.
The “Adda Gang” Terror
Local sources and witnesses claim that this particular group has established a “reign of terror” at Bahir Wala Adda. Their daily activities reportedly include:
Harassing Commuters: Travelers and local citizens are frequently targeted for intimidation.
Abusive Behavior: The gang is known for using foul language and physically mistreating people to assert dominance.
Repeat Offenses: Just days prior to this attack, a bus conductor from Mehar Abad was also subjected to violence at the same location.
Demands for Accountability
The citizens of Chichawatni have expressed deep outrage over the fact that even a trained police officer is not safe from these elements. Representatives of the local community have formally requested DPO Sahiwal and DSP Chichawatni to:
Apprehend the Culprits: Conduct immediate raids to arrest all members of the gang involved.
Establish Writ of Law: Ensure a permanent police presence at the bus stand to protect the public.
Online Monitoring: Implement surveillance to prevent such “clerk and gang mafias” from operating in public spaces.
“If those meant to protect the state are being thrashed in broad daylight, where does the common man stand? We demand an example be made of these criminals,” stated a local resident.
