An additional district and sessions judge on Saturday summoned the Race Course station house officer (SHO) for Monday to explain why he has not registered a case against former chief minster Dost Muhammad Khosa for the alleged abduction and murder of his ex-wife Sapna Khan.
Judge Chaudhry Nazeer Ahmed also summoned the record of the case during the hearing of a contempt of court petition filed by Misal Khan, father of Sapna Khan, against the SHO.
The petitioner said that the SHO had ignored the court’s instructions to investigate Sapna’s disappearance, record the petitioner’s statement and, if there were grounds to do so, to register a case against the former chief minister. Misal Khan said that he had gone to the police station with his lawyer, but the SHO told them he would not register a case until he saw the original court order.
On December 8, he said, he had visited the police station with the court orders, but neither the SHO nor the DSP were available, even though they knew that the petitioner was coming to visit them.
He asked the court to direct the authorities concerned to register a case against Dost Khosa.
The court sought comments from the Race Corse SHO by December 12.
