No, Punjab police aren’t denailing this man in viral video; here’s what happened

LAHORE – A clip of Punjab police allegedly torturing a young man is making rounds on social media with the claim that the police personnel used pliers to denail him.

It added that the policemen were trying to take the sharp blade from the detained man. Methamphetamine, a crystal drug, was also recovered from his possession, the statement added.
