KARACHI: Four police officers have been suspended and an inquiry has been ordered following allegations that they were involved in the short-term kidnapping of a citizen during a snap-checking operation near Darakhshan Police Station in Karachi.
According to police, the incident occurred when officers stopped a citizen as part of a routine snap-checking exercise.
