Traffic sergeant Haji Attaullah had been run over by the provincial politician in the month of June. Police had initially registered a first investigation report (FIR) against an 'unknown' accused.

Achakzai was granted bail by Quetta District and Sessions Judge Rashid Mehmood in a murder case from 1992. Civil Lines Police had nominated Achakzai in the murder of a person on Quetta's Jinnah Road that year. The judge set the bail at Rs300,000 and ordered the police to set him free. Advocate Naseebullah Tareen had represented the politician in the court.
