More than 60 people were killed in alleged police encounters in Punjab within days of a crackdown announcement and many of these cases follow the same disturbing pattern.

In this video, we investigate the killing of lawyer Zeeshan Dhadhi and his nephew, Hasnain Yousaf, who police claimed were drug peddlers killed in a crossfire. But their family alleges a staged encounter, prior threats, and a personal grudge involving the local SHO.

Why do police encounter reports across Pakistan sound identical? “Crossfire.” “Accomplices’ firing.” “Self-defense.” Are these real shootouts or a pattern of extra-judicial killings? This report breaks down:

• The Zeeshan Dhadhi case
• Repeating police encounter narratives
• Legal and human rights questions
• Why “accomplices’ firing” appears in almost every FIR

This is not just one case, this is about power, accountability, and the right to life.
