Some media, people spreading lies on number of cops killed in uprising: CA’s press wing

Some news outlets and some people are deliberately spreading lies and misinformation on the number of police members killed during the July-August student-led mass uprising, the chief adviser’s press wing said in a statement Friday.

“We have noticed that some news outlets and also some people have been deliberately spreading lies and misinformation on the number of policemen who were killed during the July-August student-led uprising,” the statement read.

The police headquarters has published a list of the police officials killed during the uprising. This list showed that 44 police members were killed during the student-led movement.

The police department meticulously maintains the list of officers or constables, who are injured or killed in any protests or any acts of violence, the statement added.

Anyone claiming more police were killed in the uprising is requested to provide evidence, said the statement.
