Police departments in Lahore and Peshawar have issued new guidelines and restrictions regarding interactions with the media and the handling of information concerning ongoing cases and detained individuals. Violations of these guidelines will lead to departmental actions, emphasizing the importance of maintaining quality, accurate, and constructive information flow to the public and media. The policy also aims to prevent the misuse of social media platforms by police officers and curb speculative or premature statements that could compromise investigations. Meanwhile, in Peshawar, the police have enforced a ban on video recordings and interviews of individuals detained in police stations. Officials explained that the ban would help prevent the prejudice of legal proceedings and protect the presumption of innocence for suspects.
