JIT formed to probe cases against PTI

A six-member joint investigation team (JIT) has been constituted to investigate 10 cases registered against PTI workers for allegedly attacking police and creating law and order situation outside party chairman Imran Khan’s Zaman Park residence while resisting compliance of court orders by the Punjab government last week.

According to a notification issued by the Home Department, nine cases have been registered at Race Course police station and one at Civil Lines police station.

SSP Imran Kishwar has been appointed as convener of the team whereas SP Aftab Phulawan will also be included as a member of the squad.

Out of the six-member team, three members will be included from Intelligence Bureau, Inter-Services Intelligence and the Military Intelligence.

The JIT will conduct and finalise investigation into the cases and submit a detailed report.

PTI had initiated its Jail Bharo Tehreek on February 22 outside the Punjab Assembly forcing the government to announce early elections.
