| [Pak Daily Times] Police has jugged apex court judge Javed Iqbal's younger brother, Naveed Iqbal, on the charges of killing his parents, Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Aslam Tareen, said on Tuesday. Reportedly, the judge's brother had confessed to the police to having hired killers to murder his parents. Naveed had nurtured a grudge against his parents over a monetary row, the CCPO told a presser. Tareen said that Naveed did not shun his bad habits and wasted all the money, and even resorted to taking loans from other people. When the situation became unmanageable for him, the CCPO added, he plotted against his parents, assuming them to be millionaire. "The accused took his accomplices, Abbas and Ameen, to the residence of his parents and introduced Abbas as a new house servant. The couple was sitting in the TV lounge when Naveed signalled them to overpower them. Abbas overpowered Malik Abdul Majeed, father of Naveed Iqbal, and suffocated him to death with a pillow while Ameen grabbed Zarina Bibi (his mother). Later, they took away a briefcase containing cash and important papers from the house," Tareen said. They broke open the lock at the bank of the River Ravi. After dividing the booty among themselves, they went away. Abbas told news hounds that Naveed called him to visit his place in Shahdara and told him about his plan. In reply to a query, the CCPO said that Naveed did not visit the house on the day of the incident, but appeared the next day and that too at the time of last rites of the victims. The police discovered his presence on the scene of the crime and links with Abbas and Ameen through their cellphone data. The accused Naveed and Abbas would appear before the local magistrate today (Wednesday). |
