Police will flight video footage and photographs of perpetrators of violence which rocked Chitungwiza over the weekend and at the MDC-T headquarters, Harvest House, last week.
The latest development comes amid calls for thorough investigations into escalating acts of violence countrywide, which both President Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, have publicly condemned, NewsDay reported.
Police have been heavily criticised for failing to arrest perpetrators of violence. Only two people had been arrested by yesterday.
Police spokesperson Superintendent Andrew Phiri told NewsDay: "We will be flighting the video footage as well as pictures we captured during the disturbances. We will make use of both national television and the print media for identification purposes which should lead to more arrests."
However, both Zanu PF and MDC-T are differing on the motive of the police.
With MDC-T spokesman Douglas Mwonzora saying they know for a fact is that the video footage they (ZRP) will provide will be edited, their motive being to portray MDC-T as a violent party.
Zanu-PF spokesperson Rugare Gumbo said this is the right thing to do because they (ZRP) want to nail down the culprits. The police have to decide on their own how they want to handle investigations.
