KARACHI: The Hyderabad range deputy inspector-general, in a communication to Dawn on Saturday, clarified some points of a story that appeared on page 19 of the newspaper’s March 7 issue under caption ‘Extrajudicial acts by police aimed at curbing crime, says DIG’.

The DIG said the police were a “law-abiding instrument” and they could not even “think of extrajudicial tools”. Clarifying the statements attributed to him in the report, he said that “different theories and practices used by the police in different places and times were discussed in an academic context”. He claimed that the terms employed by the reporter were never used by him and that the words used in the report constituted “insinuations” and “misinterpretations”.
