According to the sources, it was reported earlier that shots had been fired at the vehicle of Judge Mohammad Bashir, who heads the accountability court of Pakistan, on Wednesday evening. The Rawalpindi police refuted this report.
In a report published by Geo News on Wednesday, citing police sources, it was reported that the judge’s car was targeted near PAF Chowk, a place which is under the jurisdiction of the Airport Police Station, while he was on his way home from an Adiala prison hearing.
According to sources, an armed assailant opened fire on the judge’s car as he was leaving Adiala jail in Rawalpindi after a hearing. The assailant opened fire on the judge’s car at PAF Chowk, an area under the jurisdiction of Airport Police Station.
In the statement, the police stated that Shayan Zulfiqar, a citizen of Haley Street, is the perpetrator of the crime, and he was arrested on the spot. The weapon of crime was also recovered from the scene of the crime.
As Geo News reported later, the suspect had not targeted Judge Bashir in the shooting, rather, he had forced “his relatives” to accompany him, and when their resistance was resisted, the suspect fired in the air, opening fire in the air. There were only a few moments left before the jurist’s car passed the site of the shooting as he drove away from the scene of the crime.
This is to draw attention to the fact that the judge is currently presiding over hearings of major cases that are required to be conducted in secret at the Adiala jail because security concerns exist. In the case of Imran Khan against the former prime minister, he was at the hearing which took place before the incident in which he was indicted for £190 million.
