Islamabad police suspend Dolphin Squad officers over alleged assault on couple
A video showing alleged police violence against a husband and wife in Islamabad has surfaced online, prompting swift action from authorities.
The footage, reportedly filmed by a local resident, appears to show members of the Dolphin Squad stopping a couple outside their home in the F-8 sector before physically assaulting them.
In the video, the man recording can be heard shouting for others to film the incident, claiming the officers were beating people without reason and even striking a woman.
According to police sources, the altercation began after Dolphin Squad personnel stopped the couple to check identification cards, which led to a heated exchange.
Following the emergence of the video, Islamabad Inspector General of Police (IGP) Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi ordered immediate action, and all officers allegedly involved in the assault were suspended, a police spokesperson confirmed.
The IGP said that inappropriate behaviour and physical mistreatment of citizens are intolerable, adding that strict departmental action has been initiated against those responsible.
On the IGP’s instructions, a formal inquiry has been launched, while SSP Operations Qazi Ali Raza has begun an investigation into the incident.
Police said further action will be taken in light of the inquiry findings.

Donald Trump orders Pentagon to declassify UFO & alien files
President Donald Trump has made a surprise announcement directing his administration to make public all files on UFOs and any “alien and extraterrestrial life.”
In a Truth Social post on Thursday, February 20, he wrote, “Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War and other relevant departments and agencies to begin the process of identifying and releasing government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life.”
President Donald Trump also called for the release of “any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters.”
However, at this point, it is yet to be seen what UFO documents could become public or what secrets they might hold.
For decades, the Pentagon has tracked unexplained object phenomena in the sky, which it officially terms UAPs.
But the Department of Defense, in a report made public on March 6, 2024, stated that there’s no evidence that any government investigation into UAPs has confirmed the existence of extraterrestrial life.
For context, President Trump’s announcement came just days after former president Barack Obama generated buzz when he appeared on a podcast show hosted by Bria Tyler Cohen and said, “They are real but I haven’t seen them.”
He later clarified that he never saw evidence of contact between humans and extraterrestrial life during his presidency.

PM appoints interim PHF president after Bugti resigns
- Bugti’s resignation accepted with immediate effect.
- Bugti blames PSB for delayed funds during Australia tour.
- Sanaullah says PSB inquiry report is submitted to PM.
Secretary Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC) Mohyuddin Ahmad Wani has been appointed as the ad hoc President of Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) following the resignation of the sitting President Tariq Bugti.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who is also the Patron-in-Chief of the PHF, has approved Bugti’s resignation as the President of PHF with immediate effect on Thursday.
The prime minister has also taken notice of the mismanagement at the hockey federation.
Bugti resigned, accusing the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) of mismanagement and failing to release funds in time for travel and logistical expenses linked to the team’s participation in the FIH Pro League.
He alleged that payments for hotel bookings in Australia were not made on time, creating major difficulties for players and officials, and claimed he was told at the PSB that the process could take up to two months.
He appealed to the prime minister and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir to form a committee to investigate the matter and determine the facts.
Bugti also announced a two-year ban on Pakistan captain Ammad Shakeel Butt, accusing him of threatening fellow players and running a campaign against the federation’s management, and said the PHF had decided a day earlier to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Butt over misconduct.
Adviser to the prime minister on Inter-Provincial Coordination, Rana Sanaulla,h later said a three-member inquiry committee formed by the PSB had completed its investigation and submitted its report to the prime minister, with sources familiar with the development saying the findings held the PHF accountable.
Butt, meanwhile, made allegations of mismanagement and mental harassment against the team management and the PHF, saying players were subjected to conditions no professional athlete should face.
He said players were made to perform menial tasks during the tour, including cleaning kitchens, washing dishes, laundering their own clothes and scrubbing washrooms before heading to the field for training and matches.
Separately, Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi met the national men’s hockey team players in Lahore and promised to address their grievances over alleged mistreatment during the Pro Hockey League, while pledging support ahead of the World Cup Qualifier in Egypt.
“We will accommodate hockey players in every possible way. We will extend complete cooperation to streamline hockey affairs,” Naqvi said.
He directed officials to make immediate arrangements for air tickets, playing kits and hotel accommodation, ordered that a training camp be set up from Friday with preparations completed by Thursday night, and instructed that injured players be provided immediate medical treatment under PCB supervision.
Naqvi also distributed cheques of Rs1 million each to players after their runner-up finish in a recent national hockey tournament, fulfilling an earlier announcement.
He clarified on X that he had no ambitions to lead the PHF, writing: “I am not becoming Hockey Federation President, but we will assist players till this turmoil ends.”
