The Punjab government on Tuesday decided to withdraw its request to the Lahore High Court for formation of judicial commission to probe the killing of two lawyers by a Daska police officer on Monday.
Sources said that the Punjab government had written a letter to the LHC chief justice to hold a judicial enquiry of the incident under Punjab Tribunal of Inquiry Ordinance 1969 so that action could be taken against the accused officials. However, on Tuesday the government took back its request, citing the formation of a joint investigation team for the purpose.
