Two women die in police custody, families demand investigation, authorities review CCTV and burial procedures.

Two sisters‑in‑law from Pakpattan died while in custody at the Township police station. Families say the women were given a FIR and asked to arrange bail, and a judicial inquiry has been launched to examine these claims. The women, Anmol and Amina, were arrested on a complaint by citizen Zeeshan Latif, who alleged they tried to fraudulently obtain gold earrings and money. Police say they fell critically ill during detention and were transferred to a hospital where they died. Police officials suspect a drug overdose, but relatives reject the explanation. Inquiry officials visited the police station and collected statements from officers and family members. Video footage shows the women walking past a room inside the station, and closed‑circuit cameras will be scrutinised to establish the sequence of events before their deaths. Families question how the bodies were transported from Lahore to Pakpattan and note a heavy police presence at the funeral. Video of the funeral shows a large contingent, and relatives say the ceremony was hurried. The bodies were buried in Basti Ghaus Nagar after prayers at Dargah Basti Chan Pir. The inquiry will also examine the complainant’s background, as documents show Latif appears in several cases at the same police station. The investigation will review the timeline of arrest, interrogation, transfer and final medical reporting. Lahore police had recently issued a direction regarding women’s presence after sunset, but senior officers clarified no general ban. The investigation aims to determine whether police procedures were followed and to confirm the cause of death through post‑mortem and toxicology reports.
