Why police/CID hide faces of the criminals. What is the reason ?
I wonder, why 'the' target killers don't get arrested who kill PPP, ANP, Sunni Tehreek workers. Only those get arrested who kill MQM activists.
@DevilHunterX:
Iftikhar Chaudhary sent a judge to jail to see Qadri was well provided, according to media reports. Qadri’s death sentence was quashed by High Court not government.
Which one is "Lamba".
2 points for each correct guess. 1 point if you guess is close.
While kudos to the CID, but I just wonder why so far there are no arrests of the killers of the ANP workers?
@SK: Do YOU really think so? In several recent cases, when the Attorney General was saying that there is no case, the court went ahead with the sentences as well as investigations in blatant disregard of the law. Why not use the same argument when it comes to the matters that really affect the people not just a political party or the establishment the judiciary is aligned with.
@Umer: And is that judiciary fault or government fault? Who manages the Jails?? THE GOVERNMENT, GENIUS!
Show these idiots faces, so that others learn some lesson from this filth!
@SK:
You think there is any shortage of evidence against Mumtaz Qadri who is a self-confessed killer with numerous eye witnesses? Yet high court quashed his death sentence and according to media reports Qadri is getting five star treatment in jail at public’s expense.
@Umer, if you seriously think that its Judiciary which convicts a person or let's him/her go then please note that Judiciary only decides the case based on proofs provided by police and investigation teams so stronger the proofs, stronger the case and solid conviction
ET has not elaborated as from which political faction the target killers belong to?
The readers are more interest to know as who is killing whom?
Who is the terrorist now? Until now the whole of Pakistan has been biased against MQM!
good job CID!
I cannot understand why the police is so concerned about not showing the faces of alleged terrorists and killers. What purpose does it serve ?
Good Job CID! We are proud of you. Keep it up & arrest all the others. They need all the appreciation in view of their limited resources and achieving good results. They should be rewarded.
More terrorists for azad adliyya to let go.
Why not showing faces?
