Pakistan: Protest held in Sukkur over 'police brutality'
A large number of people recently protested at Sukkur Civil Hospital in Pakistan's Sukkur city against police officials at C-Section police station and accused them of causing the death of a father of three children.
The protesters told media persons that the police officials barged into Rao Majid’s house in Old Sukkur Colony and dragged him away to police station where they locked him up, reported Dawn News.
They said that after an hour, the police officials phoned the deceased’s family and informed them that Rao Majid had been shifted to Sukkur Civil Hospital as he had consumed some poisonous substance.
The protesters and the deceased’s family members told Dawn News that when they reached the hospital the paramedical staff was absent and Rao Majid had already died.
They alleged that police officials beat Rao to death.
