Sindh High Court (SHC) on Tuesday indicted Inspector General (IG) of Sindh Ghulam Haider Jamali and other top officials in the contempt of court case.
Disowned Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Dr Zulfikar Mirza initiated the contempt proceedings against IGP Jamali and others for besieging the SHC and adjoining ant-iterrorism courts on May 19 and 23.
Earlier the court refused to accept unconditional apologies of police officials terming them ‘submitted without free-will” in the case.
Sindh Chief Secretary had previously requested the court to avoid indictment of IG Ghulam Haider Jamali at least till local bodies elections as the province is facing serious threats to law and order.
However during Tuesday’s hearing court said that enough time has been given to Sindh government for making alternative arrangements and now all officials shall be indicted under contempt of court charges.
