| [DAWN] Two suspected killers of a police official were freed from police custody in a mysterious gun attack that left one policeman dead and another critically maimed while an investigating officer of the case, who claimed his weapon had been ’missing’ since Friday morning, remained unhurt in the firing. The three coppers were taking the two suspected killers back to the Korangi cop shoppe in a private car of the investigating officer after a hearing of the police official’s murder case at the anti-terrorism court when the firing was carried out along the Malir river at around 5pm, officials said. The police authorities initially relied on the statement of station investigating officer (SIO) Abdul Wasay, who remained unhurt in the incident, but they found enough evidence to call the entire episode ’mysterious’. An examination of the four spent bullet casings found at the scene of the crime showed that the SIO’s official pistol was used in the firing. It also emerged that the firing was carried out from inside the car as no evidence was available to corroborate the SIO’s statement that the firing was carried out by armed motorcyclists. |
