Summary

• Adviser to PM says Crime Control Department targets proclaimed offenders involved in dacoity-cum-rape and murder who refuse to surrender to law Adviser to the Prime Minister on Political and Public Affairs Rana Sanaullah has strongly defended Punjab’s Crime Control Department (CCD) in the face of mounting allegations that over 900 people have been killed in extrajudicial police encounters.
• The defence came in response to a direct question from a journalist who asked: “According to reports, more than 900 people have been extrajudicially killed at the hands of CCD in Punjab – will they be held accountable?” Responding at a press conference in Lahore, Sanaullah dismissed the criticism as “propaganda” and urged journalists to conduct a public survey in Punjab to gauge the department’s performance.
