flag Over 670 deaths in 500 police encounters in Punjab since Jan. 2025 raise alarm over extrajudicial killings and weakened due process.

flag The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan reports over 500 police encounters in Punjab since January 2025, resulting in more than 670 deaths—more than in any other province—raising concerns over extrajudicial killings and a decline in due process. flag The creation of the Crime Control Department (CCD) in February has intensified scrutiny, as the unit operates like a parallel police force with broad powers, often leading to fatal outcomes without transparency. flag HRCP cites the killing of Khwaja Tareef as a key example and urges the Punjab government to investigate all incidents, reassess the CCD’s role, and ensure law enforcement adheres to constitutional limits, warning that such practices undermine the rule of law and public trust.
