ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court (SC) sought a reply from the Punjab government into Sahiwal tragedy, in which four people were gunned down by the CTD personnel in 2019.
A two-member bench of the SC comprising Justice Qazi Faez Isa and Justice Yahya Afridi while hearing a case related to bail of a cop named in a murder case, asked about the action in the Sahiwal tragedy.
“Innocent people were gunned down on a phone call in front of children,” remarked Justice Isa. Unable to understand what the Punjab government and police are doing, he added.
The additional prosecutor general Punjab responded that the case is undertrial at the high court. Justice Qazi Faiz Isa directed the additional prosecutor general Punjab to present a report on the Sahiwal tragedy.
