In Pakistan, law enforcement agencies are permitted to confiscate vehicles under specific conditions, such as during investigations or in compliance with court orders. However, a disturbing trend has emerged where confiscated vehicles are reportedly being used by police officials for personal purposes without the owners' consent. This practice not only breaches ethical standards but is also a clear violation of the law.
A recent case reported by local media shed light on this misconduct. Four days ago, the AVLS (Anti-Vehicle Lifting Squad) Cantt seized a citizen’s vehicle, citing the need for laboratory testing. Instead of following through, the vehicle was spotted being used for personal purposes. The owner, unable to locate the car at the designated police station, conducted his own search and found it being driven by police personnel at Bhatta Chowk. When confronted, the officers reportedly justified their actions by claiming it was "for a sting operation."
Such behavior underscores the urgent need for accountability and strict measures to prevent the misuse of confiscated vehicles and uphold the rule of law.
