KARACHI: The special anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Friday conducting the hearing of the Intezar murder case inside the Central Jail ordered the extension in bail of one of the suspects in the case, Inspector Tariq Raheem before adjourning the case until April 9.
During the hearing on Friday, the suspects submitted a request to shift the trial from the ATC to a sessions court. The judge is yet to decide on the request.
Nineteen-year-old Intezar Ahmed was killed after the police’s Anti-Car Lifting Cell (ACLC) officials opened fire on his vehicle on Khayaban-e-Ittehad, DHA on the night of January 13.
ACLC SHO Tariq Mehmood and officials Ghulam Abbas, Azhar Ahsan, Fawad Khan, Danial, Bilal, Shahid and Tariq Raheem are in custody in the case but ACLC SSP Muqaddas Haider has been given a clean chit by investigators.
Talking to the media outside the jail, Intezar’s father, Ishtiaq Ahmed, demanded cancellation of Raheem’s bail.
Moreover, Ishtiaq said the new joint investigation team contacted him three weeks ago when he recorded his statement after which no one has been in touch with him nor has the JIT report been submitted in court.
