All 19 workers at a fast food restaurant in Pakistan were detained after refusing to give a group of police officers free burgers last week. Staff at the chain Johnny & Jugnu in Lahore were rounded up at 0100 (2000 GMT) on Saturday and held overnight. “This is not the first time something like this has happened… at our restaurant,” a statement by the burger chain said. Nine police officers involved in the incident have now been suspended. Senior provincial police official Inam Ghani announced the suspensions on Twitter, saying: “No one is allowed to take the law into his own hands. Injustice will not be tolerated. All of them will be punished.” In a statement posted on Facebook, Johnny & Jugnu said a group of police officers had gone to the restaurant two days before the incident and asked for free burgers.(NU)…[+]
