Lahore: A purported video of former Punjab Police officer Abid Boxer being beaten up police has gone viral.
According to reports, the infamous officer was beaten after his arrest. He had allegedly fled from police custody.
A court on Thursday grated him bail hours after the video emerged online.

Shehbaz Sharif’s opponents accuse him of supporting Abid Boxer to intimidate his political rivals.
