LAHORE : A case has been registered against four officials of Gujjarpura police station over allegations of illegally stopping and harassing a citizen, while three of the accused policemen have been arrested.

Following an inquiry into the complaint, legal proceedings were launched against the officials. Initial investigations reportedly found that the policemen failed to provide any solid reason for stopping the citizen before the inquiry officer.
