    British Pakistani kicked in head at Manchester found to have cyst in brain, lawyer reveals

    The British Pakistani man who was hit in the head by a UK cop at Manchester Airport has a cyst on his brain, the lawyer reveals.

    The video of Fahir and Ammad, the two brothers assaulted by UK cops at Manchester airport, went viral on a global level. Their lawyer told media outside Rochdale Police Station that Fahir has a cyst on his brain after a CT scan was conducted post-incident. He informed the media that Fahir’s condition deteriorated overnight.

    “The people who were assaulted are members of a police officer’s family,” said Yakoob as he shared that Fahir’s older brother, who works as a police officer for Greater Manchester Police, is now “afraid to go to work.”

    “He went in today and spoke to his supervisor, and the only reason he is not going to work is because he fears for his own safety,” Yakoob said while talking to the media.

    The lawyer stated that he was unaware of the events leading up to the incident but insisted that “nothing justifies the barbaric treatment from the police officers.”

    Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham told Sky News said that the assault is a disturbing image and “hard to justify.” He and his deputy have met with both the home secretary and the regional director of the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). They agreed that the ongoing IOPC investigation will be carried out swiftly, involve community stakeholders, and remain fully independent.

    Several videos of armed UK police officers holding a taser over a man lying face down on the floor are going viral on social media yesterday while it turned out that the incident happened late at night on Tuesday.

    However, the officer was suspended by GMP and later acknowledged the public’s concern and assured them of an imminent investigation that has been taking place.

    He also said, “My disagreement with the army is due to our difference of understanding in their constitutional role and I can say, without a doubt, the army did not fire at the protestors. In fact, they pelted stones at the Army.”

  • LHC declares Khan’s physical remand in twelve May 9 cases ‘null & void’

    LHC declares Khan’s physical remand in twelve May 9 cases ‘null & void’

    The Lahore High Court on July 25 declared former Prime Minster Imran Khan’s physical remand in 12 cases in the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) related to May 9 null and void.

    The hearing on the petitions against the physical remand in 12 cases of the PTI founder was conducted by Justice Tariq Saleem and Justice Anwar-ul-Haq, two members of the bench. During the hearing, the Prosecutor General of Punjab presented arguments.

    During the hearing, Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh remarked that the “accused could not be forced to undergo a photogrammetric test.”

    Earlier, Khan refused to take forensic tests, including polygraph, photogrammetry and voice matching tests, as Lahore police tried to interrogate him in these 12 cases.

    In his arguments, the prosecutor stated that the facility for the photogrammetric test is available within the jail and does not require outside transportation.

    He emphasized that denying the prosecution the full opportunity to present its case would be unfair, adding that the prosecution is entirely responsible for any failures in the case.

    The Prosecutor General noted that Imran Khan created a specific narrative through tweets, and retrieving the phones used for tweeting and WhatsApp messaging is impossible without an investigation.

    The court responded by pointing out that judges often receive threats. Justice Anwar-ul-Haq questioned how the accused could be taken anywhere for investigation when he is in jail, making phone recovery impossible.

    In the end, the court decided to declare Imran Khan’s physical remand in the 12 cases null and void and also nullify the notification for his video link appearance as the PTI founder.

  • Prince William’s salary for 2023 revealed

    Prince William’s salary for 2023 revealed

    Different media sources have revealed Britain’s future King, Prince William’s salary. They claim that the British royal earned a whopping $31 million in the year 2023 in his new role as the owner of the Duchy of Cornwall estate, which he inherited when King Charles III became the monarch.

    An Annual Integrated Report published by the Duchy of Cornwall shows a distributable surplus of £23.6 million ($30.4 million) for the last financial year 2023-2024.

    This amount covers the official, charitable and private expenses of Prince William, Kate Middleton and their three children.

    Prince William is a working member of the royal family who doesn’t receive a traditional income. So, his annual expenses are largely covered by the Duchy of Cornwall, an estate established by King Edward III in 1337 to provide funds for the heir to the throne.

    The estate is worth over $1 billion, spans 130,000 acres across 23 counties in England and Wales and includes land, farms, houses and other assets to support the heir and his family.

    However, the Prince pays income tax on all his earnings from the estate after subtracting household expenses, which have not been specified.
    When King Charles acceded to the throne in 2022, Prince William became the new Duke of Cornwall and head of the estate.
