Book those using LEAs’ uniforms for criminal activities: IHC

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) expressed concern over the use of security agencies’ uniforms by individuals committing criminal activities in the federal capital, and directed to book them.

Issuing a written order on Saturday, a day after the high court heard the recovery case of Murad Akbar, brother of a former premier’s adviser on interior and accountability Shahzad Akbar, Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani stated that a gang was involved in these activities.

The court was further informed that a first information report (FIR) had been registered in the case of Murad’s disappearance, and the written order was maintained.

The IHC’s order came after the ministries of defence and interior and DIG Operations informed it that neither the Rangers, nor the counterterrorism department (CTD) or police officials had picked up the ex-SAPM’s brother.
