Months back, Imam had shared his WhatsApp number – 03000021881 for the general public, asking them to lodge complaints against police if they refuse to lodge FIRs or they demand undue money.

Of the total 402 complains received by IG, some 236 were sent to the concerned DIGs who resolved 115 cases while the remaining 121 are currently being resolved.
These cases were pertaining to illegal arrests and non-registrations of complaints.
The experts believe that number of crime cases like child abuse, forced abduction, violation of rights at workplace go unreported in Pakistan due to different reasons particularly because of pathetic attitude of police, and prolonging judicial process.
Kaleem has requested masses to keep an eye on their surroundings, neighbourhoods and promptly report with Police stations, police helpline numbers etc in case of any suspicious activities, bag, car or any other unforeseen incident take place.
