Amir Tehkal Case: Abuse, Apology & Police Accountability
The Amir Tehkal case became one of the most debated law-enforcement controversies in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, forcing the public to confront a difficult question:
Can police enforce the law by breaking it themselves?
This case is not just about one man or one police unit; it is about power, responsibility, and the rule of law.
Amir Tehkal Case
How the Case Started
The incident began when a man named Amir Tehkal appeared in a viral video abusing and manhandling police officers, including senior officials.
The footage showed:
- Aggressive behavior
- Verbal abuse toward the police
- Clear signs of intoxication
Public reaction was swift and divided; some condemned Amir’s behavior, while others demanded lawful handling.
Police Arrest and Public Apology
Following the viral footage, KPK Police arrested Amir.
Shortly afterward, another video surfaced in which Amir was seen apologizing publicly to the police.
In the video, Amir stated:
“All the officials I abused are like my father. I regret my actions and will never repeat them.”
He appeared emotional and visibly distressed, repeatedly requesting forgiveness.
This apology video sparked another debate:
- Was the apology voluntary?
- Or was it made under pressure?
A New Video Changes Everything
Just when the case seemed to be calming down, a third video emerged, allegedly uploaded by police officials themselves.
The footage reportedly showed:
- Amir is being paraded naked inside a police station
- Physical mistreatment by police personnel
This video completely shifted public opinion.
The issue was no longer just about Amir’s misconduct; it became about police brutality.
Public Outrage and #JusticeForAmir
After the video went viral:
- Social media erupted with criticism
- The hashtag #JusticeForAmir began trending
- Citizens, journalists, and activists demanded accountability
Comments online included:
- “This is beyond humanity.”
- “Police cannot become judges.”
- “No one deserves this treatment.”
The public message was clear: law enforcement does not mean lawlessness.
Official Action Taken
In response to mounting pressure, senior police leadership took notice.
The SSP Operations:
- Initiated an inquiry
- Suspended the police officials involved
- Promised further investigation
This step was seen as necessary, but many argued it was only the beginning.
Aam Olas Perspective
In Aam Olas, Yousaf Jan Utmanzai analyzed the case in detail in:
Aam Olas: Ep #187 | Amir Da Tehkal
His stance was clear and balanced:
- Amir was wrong to abuse police officers
- Police were wrong to humiliate and torture him
Two wrongs do not make a right.
The Core Issue: Law vs Revenge
Police authority exists to:
- Protect citizens
- Enforce law within legal boundaries
- Uphold human dignity
Once punishment becomes personal revenge, institutions lose moral ground.
No law in Pakistan allows:
- Public humiliation
- Forced nudity
- Extrajudicial punishment
If police cross these lines, public trust collapses.
Who Is More Guilty?
This case presents a difficult moral dilemma.
- Amir violated the law and disrespected authority
- Police violated human rights and legal procedure
The difference is crucial:
Citizens answer to the law. Police are bound to protect it.
When those entrusted with power abuse it, the damage is far greater.
Final Reflection: Justice Must Be Lawful
The Amir Tehkal case should not be reduced to sides or slogans.
It should be remembered as a lesson:
- Authority must be restrained by law
- Accountability must apply to everyone
- Justice cannot be delivered through humiliation
Aam Olas placed all facts before the public.
Now, reflection and reform must follow.

Lala! Just watched your episode #189 regarding petrol crises and saw you wearing your mask not properly. With a massive respect, I want to say, infact request you to kindly wear your mask properly by hiding your nose and mouth thoroughly with it during an interview while taking to others as the virus transmits in droplets. Nu please, Allah de naki charta infect nashe. Da dase mask achawalo hes faida na ye. You can wear mask like this (having it on your chin) if you are isolated or not close to anyone.
Umeed dy, che zama da khabara ba taso ta darorasi aw amal ba pe okay as I care about you.

Amir should have been arrested and taken to court if he’s video hit a nerve –
Now what the police did is not islamicly or humanely correct.
Now just thinking if amir verbule abuse upset the officers so badly now you think how much the police officer phycialy abuse can hurt a human. Theres no comparing
All police officer involved shud have there license taken away as well as jail time and a law passed in order for this to not happen again to anyone
Hello this is noor i will give an example of US national jorge floyed who was killd by us police but how they came out for their justice i think blaming or abusing is something very different but if some one apologies for the act he did he will be forgive but unfortunatly a very non ethical and non loyal act is done by the police with amir . Acording to law its a crime but can be solved in court not like that ! Shame on u kp police and authorities !!!!!! Justice for amir %##
All the culprits should dismissed and sentenced to jail for at least 10 years.
thanks sir g
Tikda amir na ghalty oshwa maafi ughuhta hu police chi sa okrral haga du maafi qabil na de.. qasamde chi mi okatal zrru mi deer hapa shu duna be.zaty..

But justice department who knows when they decide in Pakistan.Allah day reham Oki.
Police must pass this case to justice department and then treat him accordingly.
Now both are wrong.case must be passed to justice department and let them decide.

Where is puhkto?
Where are ethics?
Where is Islam?
My brothers these so called law enforcers are so shameless that they do it with everyperson but it is just Aamir whose case has got a hype. Please we should make a brutal example of riyasat e madina in which mal k badlay maal jaan k badlay jaan aur izzat k badlay izzat honi chahiye.
I wonder Mr utmanzai how will he be spending the rest of his life in this society. You know about our societies they will kill him by taunts etc.
What shameless police we have. Khuda ki kasam hum tabahi k mor par aapohunchay hain
zulam ye kari da… police kar nesaal di aw saza warkul da adalat kar da… police sara sabot ho bya ba ye adalat ki show kari ho… khu gharib la ye izzat tabah ko… aga ba sanga jwand teray os😭😭
Taso dase kar woko che da police wala Video jora ko.
باقی دنیا کی پولیس ځان د خلکو نوکر کڼی خو پاکستان پولیسو ته خلګ د سړی ځامن نښکاری, یوازی که پیسه او قدرت درسره وه نور بیا لکهد سپی پشان لکۍ درته خوزوی
I must say that amir made a big mistake but the attitude of the ideal department police was beyond limits. We all are against them now there will b outbreak of thousands of amiry takal
SHAME
I think when we are with friends then we speak very weird words which we can understand that those words are very high from our reach but just to make our friends laugh and in result we are in big loss
Why only police department?
Sham on kpk police .

جب اپنی اوقات سے زیادہ پیا جاتا ہے تو یہی ہوتا ہے۔۔
I stand with kp police.
True, laikin Nawaz bahi us nay police k baray main hi q bolts.Kia us Ki Koi history hai.ya us ka taluq Kisi ore school of thoughts say hai?PTM?
لگتا ہے آپ ٹھیک نہیں ہے اپنے عقل کا امتحان لے لو
آج کے زمانے میں پولیس معاشرے کی لیے نقصاندہ ہے
Kp police crossed their limits. The police did a big mistake after amir’s mistake. Both are wrong.
kpk police ne.bht hi behuda kam.kiya hy insaf k nam lewo ka ye haal hy to dakuooO se lya tawaqo rkkyrkky
amir ghalat tha lekin kpk police us se zyada ghalat hy jo ye karwayee ki hy
poori qanuni karwayi honi chahye amir or police dono ko qanoon k daery me rehty hue saza jaza di jaye
بلکل نا انصافی ہے اس پر سخت کاروائی کرنی چاھئے اوردل تو بہت چاھت اہے لکھنے کو مگر مجبوری ہے اس وجہ سے نہیں لکھ سکتا
Assalam o alaikum,first why Amir says bulshit about Police ?is there any history of Amir and police?If no he must be drunker.for me if you are unconscious the words come out from your mouth is real reality of your inside.
Secondly he apologize forcefully,after I guess treatment.,which is right he got the treatment what he did.
Now police must capture the worker who socialized Amir treatment Video,why he make this video?he should get the treatment also,Because this worker is the real shitan.
For me police treat people like Amir, should be done so no one can bulshit on families.But what is the history of police and Amir or Amir Belong to which school of thoughts is need to be defined for the justice.
Wasalam
Amir belongs to poor family that’s why police torture him now tell me about karnal wife and check the video of her rude behave.
Well the way you talk is like you dont know how to post a comment which can raise voice for justice but i saw your comment and i thought that you are completely uneducated person and you dont have manners you are ammature read your comment 5times a day maybe you should learn how to speak how to investigate what happened to amir
It’s so bad with amir ignorant police
