The case of a 17-year-old boy's death by a string hanging from electric wires in Gujrat.
Notice of IG Punjab Dr. Usman Anwar, sought report from RPO Gujranwala.
IG Punjab Dr. Usman Anwar has taken notice of the tragic incident of the death of a 17-year-old boy who was strangled by a string hanging on electric wires in Gujrat and has sought a report from RPO Gujranwala. IG Punjab directed the DPO Gujrat to ensure the implementation of the kite flying act and directed to speed up the crackdown against kite fliers, sellers and makers across the district. The elements involved in manufacturing, buying, selling and using kites and metallic string do not deserve any sympathy. The accused involved in this dangerous sport and business should be brought under the grip of the law and punished. Dr. Usman Anwar further said that the crackdown should be accelerated by forming special teams to prevent kite flying. IG Punjab directed that the senior officers should keep in close contact with the victim's family and no effort should be spared to deliver justice.
