LAHORE – A policeman in the capital city of Punjab took torture to a new low, as he made a suspect to bark like a dog during detention.
A video shared on social media shows a man being tortured by a group of cops at Badami Bagh Police Station as his shirt is ripped off and blood stains are visible on his clothes.
It becomes more humiliating for the suspect when a policeman, identified as SHO Asif Jabbar, forces him to bark like a dog and the helpless man has no option but to obey.
“I am a dog, whao, whao,” the frightened man can be heard responding to a question when he is asked by the policeman: “Who are you?”

The Punjab Police inspector general has taken notice of the incident and ordered the Lahore Police to take stern action against the official involved in torture.
SHO Asif Jabbar was suspended and an inquiry was launched.
Punjab Police said in a tweet that further action against the accused cop will be taken in light of the inquiry report.
