Director of Minhajul Quran failed to appear before the joint investigation team (JIT) meeting, chaired by CCPO Quetta Abdul Razzak Cheema on Thursday, to record his statement.
Sources said that the JIT had on Wednesday summoned the director of Minhajul Quran Secretariat, Jawwad Hamid to record his statement with the team pertaining to the investigations of the bloody event, which had claimed lives of 14 PAT workers on June 17.
However, Jawwad Hamid did not arrive to record his statement to assist the probe.
On the other hand, Hamid said that he did not receive any notice by the investigation team.
Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) has already rejected the JIT formed under the supervision of CCPO Quetta Abdul Razzak Cheema to probe the Model Town carnage.
The PAT leaders have repeatedly expressed their lack of trust on any police official from Sindh, Punjab or Baluchistan. This is the second JIT formed to probe the incident, yet the PAT officials are adamant not to appear before it to assist the probe.
The PAT is of the view that the investigation team under CCPO Cheema cannot be trusted to investigate the bloody event impartially.
