Two Officers Suspended Over Filming
The District Police Officer (DPO) of Kasur, Essa Khan, ordered an internal investigation. Authorities discovered that two officers had filmed the detainees without permission. They were not recording the video as part of any official police work.
As a result, the DPO suspended both the Station House Officer (SHO) and the Investigating Officer (IO) involved. “The video was not recorded in any official capacity,” the police clarified later.

Raid Led by SHO Bukhari
Mustafabad SHO Saqlain Bukhari led the raid. He acted on orders from DPO Essa Khan. The officers seized alcohol and sound equipment from the farmhouse during the operation.
Kasur Police released a press statement after the raid. It included blurred images of the detainees and a list of confiscated items.
Court Orders Release of Detainees
Meanwhile, the local court reviewed the case. It ruled that there wasn’t enough evidence to keep the detainees in custody. The court dismissed the case and ordered the release of all 55 young people.
Further Inquiry Underway
The DPO assigned the Superintendent of Police (SP) Investigation to carry out a full probe into the incident. The goal is to determine how the video was leaked and whether officers violated any legal or ethical rules.
