Lahore police have registered a case against the Station House Officer (SHO) of Sarwar Road Police Station and 10 other personnel following a raid at the residence of Attorney General for Pakistan Mansoor Awan.

According to police, the officers had information about a house adjacent to the Attorney General’s residence. However, they allegedly entered the wrong property during the operation.

The FIR states that the SHO and 11 police personnel were charged for allegedly exceeding their authority during the raid. The incident has also prompted further action against the officials involved.

Awan’s driver, Irfan, claimed that the SHO and other police officers entered the house by jumping over the gate. He further alleged that the police took away the CCTV camera system during the raid.

According to the driver, only domestic staff were present at the residence when the police arrived. The Attorney General reached home after finishing a meeting after being informed about the incident.

Irfan also alleged that the police later returned the digital video recorder (DVR) after deleting CCTV footage from the system.

The raid reportedly caused damage to property outside the residence, including flower pots placed near the entrance.

Police officials said the raid was conducted based on information concerning the neighbouring house and that the officers mistakenly entered Awan’s residence.

Meanwhile, the SHO of Sarwar Road Police Station has obtained interim bail from the court in connection with the case.
