10 cops recalled for questioning in Musharraf assassination attempt
Ten Rawalpindi district police officials have been recalled by the investigation team probing the December 25, 2003, attempt on President Pervez Musharrafâs life.
| The tip of the iceberg surfaces. |
The recalled include three inspectors Khizer Hayat, Javed Tanoli, Khurished Abbasi, four assistant sub-inspectors Kaim Ali, Wazir Ali and Khushal Khan and three constables. They will reappear before the investigation team and record their statements, sources told Daily Times. These police officials have been directed not to leave their present postings and not leave the city without informing the investigation team, sources said. The police officials had been posted at Airport Chowk, Khanna Chowki, Gulzar-e-Quaid and Lethar Road on the day when there were two attempts on the presidentâs life. The investigation team called in several police officials to probe vigorously with truncheons the matter and gleaned painfully information about terrorists who could have been involved in the incidents in which more than 16 people died and several others were injured. The recalled police officials recorded their statements and they have been recalled after their statements were investigated. The investigation team expressed some doubts about their statements and thus recalled them for cross-examination, sources said. The investigation team is also contemplating recalling Islamabad Police officials whose statements appear dubious, sources added. Rawalpindi District Police Officer Syed Murvat Ali Shah said that he has no information about the development.
