The pictures of Haji Ziarat Gul, a local elder and former nazim, chained to a small tree inside the police station were widely circulated on social media. Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Naeem Hussain, who is in-charge of Rescue 15 Hangu, arrested Haji Ziarat Gul, the official continued. "He brought him to the Rescue 15 and chained him to a tree outside." Accoridng to another police official, Hangu District Police Officer (DPO) Ikram Ullah has already taken disciplionary action against the officer in-charge of Rescue 15. There is no detention cell in the Rescue 15 building so the in-charge chained the arrested man to a tree.
