LAHORE: The investigation into the Sahiwal tragedy on Friday revealed that orders of opening fire on the car were given by Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Jawad Qamar.
“The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) team was just not in the mood to arrest Zeeshan, a terror suspect,” sources said.
They added that SSP Jawad Qamar was also seen reaching the site of the incident after the shootout.
The bodies of the Sahiwal incident victims were also shifted to police lines on the orders of SSP Qamar, sources said and added that efforts were underway to save the police official.
The CTD officials had on Saturday opened fire on a car near Sahiwal, killing a couple, their daughter and Zeeshan, sparking outrage across the country.
