Prisoners' escape prompts fresh SOPs
Rawalpindi police have issued a stringent new standard operating procedure (SOP) governing the transportation of prisoners between Adiala Jail and courts following the escape of 14 undertrial prisoners while being brought back from Kahuta courts.
Two of the escaped suspects remain at large despite raids on their homes, relatives' residences and other hideouts.
The SP Headquarters has enforced a 20-point SOP covering every stage of transporting prisoners to and from courts.
Under the new rules, all prisoners appearing in judiciary are prohibited from talking on mobile phones while at judiciary premises or judicial lock-ups.
Taking prisoners to hotels or roadside eateries for tea or meals has also been declared an offence.
Recording videos of prisoners for TikTok or any other purpose has been banned.
