Encounter: Court orders case against 7 cops
Case registered for an allegedly fake encounter in which local footballer Tajammul Husain was killed.
Haleema Bibi, Tajammul’s mother, had petitioned Additional Sessions Judge Muhammad Asghar seeking a case against the Chak Jhumra SHO Mazharul Haq, Shahid Abbas, Iftikhar Husain, Muhammad Boota, Muhammad Saeed and Iqbal for killing her son.
The court ordered the Faisalabad City Police Officer to include Haleema Bibi’s statement in the case. Earlier, police had filed a case against Tajammal and others for allegedly shooting at police. A judicial inquiry into the incident is also under way.
