| 2016-10-09 |
| [DAWN] Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah on Saturday took notice of an ’encounter’ by police officials of two students in the Nipa Chowrangi area of the metropolis on Friday night, said a spokesperson of CM House. The provincial chief executive directed the Inspector General of Sindh Police to conduct a full inquiry to ascertain the veracity of the claims made by the relatives of the slain student, and asked for the report to be submitted after the inquiry's completion. DIG East has been instructed to hold a transparent and impartial inquiry into the incident and submit a comprehensive report based on facts to ensure justice. Shah vowed that if the police officials had misused their powers, strict action would be taken against them. "If Ateequllah was a student and peaceful, justice would be provided to his parents," promised Shah. Gulistan-e-Jauhar SHO Chaudhry Shahid on Friday night had claimed the death of Syed Ateequllah in an ’encounter’, and had also claimed that a pistol was seized from the individual. Ateequllah’s counsin, Syed Azizullah was also injured in the alleged encounter. However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... Syed Matiullah, cousin of the dear departed told Dawn on Saturday night that Ateequllah was a cadet in Rangers Public School, located on Superhighway. |
