The newly-appointed Station House Officer (SHO) of Punjab’s Chiniot in a bizarre order banned the citizens from leaving their houses past midnight.

SHO city Azhar Abbas has vowed to lock citizens behind bars who leave their homes after midnight.

Announcements were made by loud-speakers across the city, directing citizens to not get out of homes without a solid reason.

Meanwhile, SHO Abbas has vowed to strictly impose his orders, saying that he will ensure compliance at any rate.

The citizens, on the other hand, were in a state of fear after the announcement was made that barred them from leaving their homes past midnight.
