In Quetta, the local police seem unable to counteract the influence of Member of Provincial Assembly (MPA) Liaqat Lehri’s nephew, Danish Lehri, who publicly assaulted a traffic police officer.
Quetta police detained MPA Liaqat Lehri’s nephew, yet no substantial legal steps have followed, sparking concerns about the dominance of political power in legal matters.
Although Danish Lehri apologised after his arrest, this gesture has not mitigated public displeasure or enhanced accountability measures. The First Information Report (FIR) includes sections 337A, 504, and 506B, addressing grievous bodily harm and criminal intimidation.
Despite a firm directive from the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police for strict action, the MPA’s clout appears to shield the nephew from significant legal repercussions.
