In a harrowing incident at Adiala Jail, a prisoner met a tragic fate, being allegedly raped and subsequently murdered.
Following the initial inquiry report, authorities took swift action by suspending five employees of the prison administration, including officers implicated in the incident.
The Superintendent of the jail promptly registered a case against four accused individuals involved in this horrifying crime. The gravity of the situation prompted IG Prisons Punjab, Farooq Nazir, to order a thorough investigation into the matter.
The accused, including the Assistant Superintendent, Night Officer, Assistant, Night Patrol Officer, and Ward In-Charge, now face severe consequences for their alleged roles in this heinous act.
The deceased was reportedly suffering from AIDS, and shockingly, nine other AIDS-infected individuals were also in the same prison. Authorities await the postmortem report of the deceased for further actions.
The case has been formally registered under charges of murder, assault, and other relevant provisions, highlighting the severity of the incident and the urgency for a comprehensive inquiry into the matter.
