Police said the suspect, named Farrukh Khokhar, was brought to a Rawalpindi court for the hearing of the Sabira Bibi murder case and managed to flee while he was being taken back the Adiala Jail.
According to Express News correspondent Imran Asghar, around 25 armed men fought with the police and helped Farrukh run away.
Sabra Bibi was murdered on August 17, 2012 reportedly over a property dispute.
Bibi and her husband Raja Yaqoob were present at the disputed place in Dhoke Gangal on that day to give their statements to local commissioner when Imtiaz alias Taji Khokhar’s gunmen shot her.
Taji is the younger brother of former National Assembly speaker Nawaz Khokhar and Farrukh’s father.

Punjab Police in Action Again??
The police did not know how to use either the stick or rifle to control the situation. Their salaries are paid from the taxes collected from poor people.
The "Khokarshank" redemption !!!

Where is Ch. Nisar? apparently the famous khokar land-grabbers of Pindi were Ch Nisar's rivals and it was believed that he will give them tough time if he became interior minister. Alas for poor people.
