Ex-Pakistan Federal Minister Alleges Custodial Torture During Interrogation
16:18 30.01.2023 (Updated: 17:32 30.01.2023) Pakistan's former Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry was arrested on sedition charges Wednesday morning.
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) politician and former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday accused the Islamabad police of having plans to "torture" him in "custody" and filed a plea in the court to direct authorities to conduct his medical examination.
During the weekend, Chaudhry informed reporters that the police in the past had physically harassed senior PTI members, including Azam Khan Swati and Shahbaz Gill.
"The police might do the same as they did in the past and this is why they are not conducting my medical," he told the media in Pakistan's capital.
An Islamabad district and sessions court on Friday sent the country's former Information and Broadcasting Minister Fawad Chaudhry to prison on a 14-day judicial remand; he has been charged with threatening Election Commission members.
Earlier, the court ruled that the former minister be incarcerated for two days following his arrest at his residence in Lahore city.
The arrest of Chaudhry came after a report was lodged against him by an Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) employee, alleging that he had threatened members of the constitutional body at a police station in Islamabad.
After being interrogated during his physical remand in the federal capital, the police took Chaudhry to Lahore, where his voice sample was taken before sending it to the forensic laboratory.
The development was confirmed by an official of the Islamabad police before adding that the minister's medical test would be conducted soon.
"The photogrammetry test of the PTI leader has been conducted and a medical test needs to be done," a police official told Judicial Magistrate Waqas Ahmed Raja on Monday morning.
Meanwhile, the police informed the court that the minister will be presented before it later in the day.
