Lahore, 11 Oct 2023:Inspector General (IG) Punjab, Dr. Usman Anwar, has demanded prompt and comprehensive investigations into two serious incidents that have shaken local communities in Punjab, according to a press release by Punjab Police. In Mandiki Daska, the tragic killing of two individuals has spurred the IG to require a report from the Regional Police Officer (RPO) Gujranwala, coupled with the formation of a special team by the District Police Officer (DPO) Sialkot to expedite the arrest of the accused involved. In a separate incident, the alleged rape and murder of a 7-year-old girl in the Dijkot area of Faisalabad has prompted Dr. Usman Anwar to seek a report from RPO Faisalabad and task the Chief Police Officer (CPO) Faisalabad with the immediate arrest of the suspected perpetrator(s).

Dr. Usman Anwar has articulated a clear directive that thorough investigations into all facets of both incidents must be conducted to ensure that the culprits are apprehended as swiftly as possible. In Mandiki Daska, where two citizens lost their lives, a special emphasis has been placed on securing justice for the families of the victims in a timely manner.

In parallel, the horrendous event in Dijkot demands equal urgency. Dr. Usman Anwar has mandated the accused’s rapid arrest and subsequent presentation in court. He emphasized that supervisory officers should maintain open and ongoing communication with the victim’s family, ensuring that justice is not only served but is enacted promptly.

Both incidents underscore a critical moment for law enforcement agencies in Punjab, highlighting the necessity for swift, decisive action and transparent communications with the bereaved families and the community at large. Dr. Usman Anwar’s stringent directives illuminate a commitment to uphold law and order and affirm a categorical stance against violent crime in the region.
