| 2018-10-31 |
| [DAWN] Chaudhry Mehmood Akhtar, a former judge of the Lahore High Court (LHC), was rubbed out in the jurisdiction of Jatli cop shoppe in Chakwal on Tuesday. Police said the former LHC judge was on his way back to Chakwal from his native town. When he reached Tarkawal Mor near Jatli, some unidentified armed attackers opened fire on his car. As a result, Akhtar went titzup while his niece Sajjida received bullet injuries. Upon receiving information of the incident, the Rescue-1122 team rushed to the scene and shifted the body to Tehsil Headquarters Hospital, Gujjar Khan, while the injured was shifted to District Headquarters Hospital, Chakwal. The Rawalpindi police chief took notice of the incident and formed two teams to probe the murder which will be headed by Station House Officer (SHO) Mandra and SHO Jatli, respectively. Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry expressed regret and condemned the killing of the former judge. He provided assurances that those behind the murder will be brought to justice soon. Meanwhile, ...back at the pond, Gloria slowly backed away from the eight-foot bull frog. If the creature croaked she would surely be deafened... the Pakistain Bar Council also condemned the incident, which "raises questions on the blatant failure of security and law enforcement agencies". |
