SARGODHA: Additional District and Sessions Judge Faisal Jamil has ordered the police to produce a missing youth, dead or alive, within two days and sought a report on the incident from the district police officer.

Ahmed Sher of Chak 152-NB filed a petition with the court that on March 22, the Shah Nakdar police raided the house of his son Taswar Abbas in Chaudhry Colony in Lari Adda of Jhang City.

He alleged that the police tortured the women and children, ransacked the house and looted gold ornaments and cash. He alleged that his son had been subjected to severe torture in Shah Nakdar police station in Sargodha for the past four days. He feared that the police might stage a fake encounter to kill him.
