SAHIWAL: A case registered against 16 officials of Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) under Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) on Sunday over controversial shooting of Sahiwal where four persons including two women were killed yesterday.
The case was registered in Yousafwala police station over complaint of Jaleel, brother of slain Khalil.
As result, protestors who were lodging sit-in in Sahiwal road have dispersed and took dead bodies with them for funeral prayers.
On the other hand, sit-in was continued in Ferozpur Road of Lahore where protestors announced not to disperse until the authorities fulfill their demands.
Earlier on Saturday, four persons were shot dead including two women during an alleged action by CTD of Punjab Police that went controversial when a wounded child gave statement before the media, saying they were moving to Burewala for attending a wedding ceremony.
However, CTD in its report submitted to Inspector General (IG) Punjab Police insisted that the law enforcers’ team attempted to stop ‘terrorists travelling through motorcycle and car’ at around 12:00 noon but they opened fire on the personnel avoiding the call to surrender before security officials.
However, the development reports spread like wildfire that draw heavy criticism by nationals across the country against the police action.
