Police loses control during suspects’ arrest, demolishes house, killing two infants

In Khanpur, the police demolished a house after failing to arrest the suspects, resulting in the death of two infants who were inside the house.

According to some media reports, this tragic incident occurred in the village of Alam Khan in Khanpur, where the police demolished the house after failing to capture the suspects.

Relatives stated that three-month-old Innis and eight-month-old Amira were killed after being trapped under the rubble of the house. The police said the operation was conducted to arrest the suspects involved in a murder case.

The police reported that two houses were demolished after the suspects escaped. The relatives of the deceased children protested by carrying the children’s bodies and demanded that the authorities take notice of the children’s deaths during the police action.

The Punjab Police, entrusted with maintaining law and order, often find themselves at the center of controversy due to their own rule-breaking actions. While their primary duty is to protect the public and eliminate crime, instances of police misconduct, extrajudicial actions, and abuse of power have frequently been reported.

Instead of upholding justice, some officers engage in corruption, unlawful detentions, and violent encounters that not only violate legal protocols but also instill fear among citizens. These actions erode public trust and create an environment where the very institution meant to protect people becomes a source of distress.
