RAHIM YAR KHAN: The central character behind a private torture chamber, unearthed in Rahim Yar Khan (RYK) a couple of days ago, on Sunday presented himself to police denying 'involvement in any wrongdoing'.
A torture cell was unearthed on Thursday belonging to influential people in Rahim Yar Khan’s Satellite Town. Several secret videos depicting severe torture being inflicted on the victims emerged.
It was found out that the prisoners were brutally made to suffer in the prison cells, guarded by heavily armed men.
It was further learnt that people were brought to the cells over issues ranging from property disputes to settling personal scores.
Geo News had aired the story of the private torture cell being run in Rahim Yar Khan, following which eight suspects were rounded up and the Station House Officer (SHO) B-Division, Shabbir Ahmed, was suspended.
Police were on a hunt for Kami Shah since then.
Shah, however, today presented himself to police saying that had he been involved in any criminal activity, he would not have presented himself for arrest. He claimed that the man he was seen slapping in one of the videos wanted to kidnap his son.
The suspect was shifted to B-Division police station.
Earlier, a woman had also claimed that the house in which the torture chamber was built belongs to her.
Speaking to Geo News, the woman had said that she had to move to Islamabad after her house was captured by influential figures who later converted it into a torture chamber.
Shortly after the news was aired on TV channels, Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif had taken notice of the matter and ordered concerned officials to take indiscriminate action against the culprits.
