Three Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) police officers have been arrested for torturing and parading an accused man naked in Peshawar's police station.
A video went viral on social media wherein it can be seen that the police officers were beating a man and tearing apart his clothes to parade him naked in the police station.

The social media reports state that the accused man, identified as Amir, was drunk and he abused a police officer ‘unintentionally’ as he was out of his senses. But the police officials, instead of treating the accused according to the law, tortured and paraded him naked in the police station.
Journalist Javed Aziz posted a tweet informing people about the development in the case. He said that three policemen have been arrested and a SHO has been suspended.

“This SHO belongs to Peshawar Tahkal police station. A drunk citizen abused him unintentionally. He arrested him named Amir Tahkal and made him naked, filmed him and viral his naked video instead of charging him under the law and constitution. He must be punished the same way,” a Twitter user said.

Journalist Rifatullah Orakzai also condemned the incident and said that the act of KP police officials has no place in Pashtun traditions and Islamic teachings.
