A grade-7 student has been found dead in the lock-up of the West Cantonment Police Station of Peshawar, which caused a storm. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Mahmood Khan immediately ordered a judicial inquiry and said the culprits would go unpunished.
The incident took place a few days after a student from Bannu was shot dead by the cops in the limits of the Faqirabad police station.
The staff of the West Cantonment Police Station was suspended after the tragic incident while the concerned cops, including the station house officer, have been arrested and a case lodged against them.
