Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Special Prosecutor Chaudhry Zulfiqar on Wednesday requested the special anti-terrorism court of the Rawalpindi division to eliminate the right of cross-examination of the defense lawyer Rao Abdur Raheem in Benazir’s assassination case.
FIA prosecutor Chaudhry Zulfiqar alleged that the defense lawyer was using delaying tactics for cross examination of two important witnesses in the case whose statements were recorded on January 19.
He further said that a month had passed since the statements were recorded but the defense lawyer had not started cross-examining the witnesses.
In his application, the special prosecutor said the delaying tactics should be discouraged as it was frustrating the witnesses.
