Tipu, Bomb seek delisting from most-wanted list

Bomb says he is a member of PTI, not involved in any criminal activities

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) issued notices to Inspector General Punjab (IGP), Deputy Commissioner (DC) and Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Lahore to seek reply by January 9 on two different petitions filed by Balaj Tipu and Mansha Bomb seeking removal of their names from the list of top ten most notorious criminals.

Justice Alia Neelum restrained police officials from harassing the aforementioned petitioners as well as conducting raids at their homes.

Petitioners Balaj Tipu and Mansha Bomb in their petitions challenged the list of top ten criminals, which included their names, prepared by the Punjab government.

Mansha Bomb implored the court that he is a member of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and has not been involved in any criminal activities. He said the government has wrongly listed him among the top ten most wanted criminals.

The second petitioner, Balaj Tipu, contended that two cases had been registered against him over murder charges but he had been granted bail by the court.

Both the petitioners prayed the court to pass an order to remove their names from the list of top ten criminals prepared by the Punjab Government.
