A station house officer in Khanewal was suspended on Tuesday for sending “indecent” messages to a girl in the Makhdoompur area, a senior police officer confirmed.

The family of the girl, who is a bus hostess, said SHO Makhdoompur Zafar Iqbal sent “indecent” messages to her. They said the officer raided their house with a police team and subjected them to torture.
