In the footage, as the two dolphin personnel can be seen torturing men, two more personnel also reached the spot. They also tortured and abused the citizens.
As the video went viral, social media users lambasted Punjab Police and urged concerned officials to take notice of the incident. Meanwhile, the police spokesperson has not commented on the matter till the filing of this report.
Provincial authorities formed Dolphin Squad with an aim to improve the tarnished image of the force and to improve police emergency response however when it comes to improving the image of the force, the squad has proven to be counterproductive.
The motorcycle-borne squad has been the subject of public outcry after more than one incident claimed the lives of citizens in Lahore.
