Our Police Can Make a Deer an Elephant
By Dr. Hassan Isfahani • Mar 10th, 2010 • Category: Politics • 2 CommentsEven the newly restored judiciary cried out that they are virtually unable to take action against the atrocities of the police. Justice Javed Iqbal was so glum when he said that he would never joined the police force after watching the video clips of police beating the citizen of Pakistan on the roads.
Our police is notorius in torture. There is an old joke in the country that one day there was a theft in the jungle, and witnesses told the police that elephant had done that, but had run away. Police searched for the elephant but in vain. Police captured a deer, and kept him for a night. The next morning, deer came out with the police in front of court and conceded that he was infact the elephant and so was the thief.
Saleha Javiad in News has asserted quite rightly that “Known for abusing legal authority, mishandling investigations, incriminating citizens, eliminating evidence and exercising brute force, their direct involvement in homicide, rape, fraud, narcotics and other forms of organised crime doesn’t come as a surprise. Neither does their illicit engagement in bribery, conspiracy and ruthless treachery.”
Now as the Pakistani media has shown live the police torture, the people of Pakistan are enraged of police torture and they seem incapable of grasping its many implications. Fear and anxiety of the public against the police has now become outrage. It is a common knowledge that in Pakistan the justice is dispensed inthe police stations rather than in the courts.

Pakistan police to cross the line MOST of the times. Especially the weak and poor can not really do much about the police of Pakistan. The behavior that is being carried out by the jailors over the women especially makes you wanna punish these policeman very badly. Unfortunately, the lobbies are too busy talking about Dr. aafia and they would overlook the daughters of Pakistan within the jail cells of our country.
A point of immense concern I guess. With the recent social and civic development I strongly agree to the fact that the drastic police reforms and amendments are required but at the same time we should be fair enough to look at the positive side of it. The same police have stood its ground with almost no equipment to protect them against the terrorist. They stand at check posts and watch out for danger with their lives at risks every second of it.
