Police officials are in pursuit of former MNA and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz candidate Mohammad Hanif Abbasi and one of his close aide, who have been implicated in the murder of Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf supporter on the polling day.
“Video footages, obtained from different sources helped the police to identify the gunman, and they also showed the contesting candidate, Hanif Abbasi, sitting at his election office and passing instructions to his supporters protesting outside,” a senior police officer close to the investigation told reporters requesting anonymity.
The police official added that although the former MNA is not directly nominated in the murder case, he will be investigated because “he is visible in the video footages sitting in his election office and passing instructions to his supporters outside Rehmanabad on Saturday evening.”
The election office of Abbasi, located at Ashiyana Center Rehmanabad, had been sealed by the police, who have been conducting raids to arrest the main accused whose name is currently being withheld by the police.
Usman Farooq, who was to be blessed with a baby this month, was killed in a clash between the PTI and PML-N supporters as the latter were celebrating the party’s victory. Police said bullets fired by the gunmen pierced Usman Farooq’s forehead, while Bilal Khan, Aqeel Khan, Irfan Akhtar and Waseem Naqvi were also injured.
Meanwhile, a large number of PTI activists, led by senior vice president Mohammad Zubair, staged a protest outside the PML-N office at Rehmanabad on Wednesday, and demanded the caretaker chief minister Punjab and Inspector General of Police Punjab arrest the killers of Usman Farooq.
