KARACHI: An antiterrorism court has directed the Karachi police chief to take a stern action against five officials of the Iqbal Market police station for registering fake criminal cases and making false testimonies against him. The court has also absolved the accused person from the charges of extortion and terrorism.
The accused Asif, alias Choona, was charged with hurling life threats and collecting protection money from a resident of Orangi Town, reported local media.
The ATC-XII judge, who conducted the trial in the judicial complex inside the central prison, pronounced his judgement, which was reserved earlier after recording evidence and final arguments from both sides.
The judge advised the Additional IG of Karachi Range to take action against the policemen, who were witnesses in the case, for being instrumental in managing the FIR against the accused.
The City police chief was also told to ensure “such type of police officials are not posted for operational and investigational duties, as they are mark of stigma upon the police force.
