The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday summoned the Islamabad Inspector General of Police (IGP) in person in connection with a petition regarding the recovery of the brothers of journalist Ahmed Noorani.
The court expressed dissatisfaction with the report submitted by the Station House Officer (SHO) of the concerned area and consequently ordered the police chief to appear in person.
Justice Inaam Ameen Minhas presided over the hearing of the petition filed by the mother of the missing individuals. During the hearing, the SHO presented a report stating that the police had been utilizing all available resources for the recovery of the missing persons.
The report highlighted that geo-fencing had been conducted, Cell Data Records (CDR) had been requested, and nearby CCTV footage had been reviewed.
However, the court observed that the police had not provided any conclusive findings regarding the investigation. The police counsel mentioned that no application had been submitted for the registration of an FIR. Justice Minhas remarked that the IGP of Islamabad is being summoned to ensure the proper investigation of the case. The court adjourned the hearing until March 26.
