The Abbottabad police chief has also appointed additional SP Malik Ejaz to probe the case of detention and harassment of the couple in Donga Gali police station

The couple travelling to Nathiagali was detained by Donga Gali police after a brawl with the traffic warden over the blockade of the road. The police had also registered an FIR against the couple.

The couple alleged that personnel at the police station harassed them throughout the night, and demanded action against the traffic warden and the police station SHO.
