Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar on Monday informed the National Assembly that the Islamabad police set up 22 posts in the federal capital and 145 criminals were arrested on these points during the last two years.
Speaking during the question hour session, the minister said that these check posts could not be abolished due to the prevailing law and order situation in the country.
He assured the House that stern action would be taken against the police officials deputed at these checkposts if anyone was found involved in taking bribes or misbehaved with the people.
The minister said that culprits involved in F-9 parks were arrested and the case was registered against them. Some 140 cases of abuse and violence incidents against women and children have been reported during the previous year.
He said the investigations of these cases have been completed and challans have been sent to the trial courts which were pending before the courts.
He said there was also a need for judicial reforms so the cases could be disposed of within a certain time.
