Security officials’ killing: Two sent to Adiala Jail on 14-day remand
Two other suspects involved in the same crime are already in police custody.
RAWALPINDI:
An anti-terrorism court judge on Wednesday sent two suspects arrested for their involvement in killing five intelligence agency officials to Adiala jail.
They were presented before the ATC Special Judge Shahid Rafique by police.
The judge accepted the plea of Choa Sayedan Shah Station House Officer (SHO), Inspector Nauman Ahmed, and sent the two suspects, Waheed Ahmed, resident of Mandi Bahauddin and Muhammad Ejaz alias Daud, resident of Gujranwala, to Adiala Jail on 14 days remand.
The SHO said the identification parade of the two men arrested from Pind Dadan Khan would be carried out to confirm whether or not they were involved in killing of the agency personnel.
The Chakwal police had arrested them on charges of killing five officials of a security agency in the Chambal forest on the border of Chakwal and Jhelum districts in November last.
The police stated before the ATC judge that the two men were arrested on February 21 and were kept in the lock-up at Kallar Kahar police station before being produced in the ATC.
Police had already obtained physical remand of two other suspects, Waqas and Shahzad, who will be produced before the ATC on February 25 for further proceedings. On November 12 last year, the police registered an FIR on charges of murder, robbery, unlawful assembly and terrorism after five officials of an intelligence agency were reportedly killed by the terrorists in the hills.
According to media reports, the Rawalpindi police joined the military officials in carrying out a search operation in the areas around the shrine of Pir Chambal after the bodies of the five personnel, whose names have not been disclosed, were found in a hill top with multiple bullet wounds and possible torture marks, including burns on the feet of at least one of the deceased.
The five men were shot at close range and the police found different items including some five kilograms of high explosive powder, a wall clock and bucket from a cave some five kilometres away from the shrine.
