A social media user @asadmaliklive recently posted a disturbing incident involving Lahore police, claiming that they brutally broke the arm of a young Pashtun hotel owner in Quetta Cafe, Firdous Market, simply because he was late delivering food. The hotel owner alleged that police officers frequently eat for free at his hotel and shut it down if he refuses. However, @Lahorepoliceops responded promptly, clarifying that the incident actually occurred on August 24, 2023. They assured that immediate action was taken against the responsible police constable, Zahulfiqar Shah, and an FIR (2188/23) was registered under Section 155 of the Police Order 2002 at Naseerabad Police Station. The officer was suspended and later dismissed from service after an inquiry. It’s worth noting that over 130k users viewed the post, leading to severe backlash against Lahore police. Ironically, the incident was from the year 2023, and the accused officer had already been terminated from service. This highlights the importance of verifying information before sharing it on social media to avoid spreading #misinformation
