ISLAMABAD, Feb 28 (APP): Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah Khan on Tuesday said police violence against journalists at the Islamabad High Court was unacceptable and ordered an inquiry into the incident.
He directed the Inspector General of Police Islamabad to investigate the incident and take action against the responsible police personnel.
