According to details, lawyer Syed Shahbaz Bukhari claimed that he was being threatened by a CTD officer over the phone who advised him to stay away from the case. Bukhari also claimed that the “caller” introduced himself as the CTD official and asked him to stand down from the matter. He also played the audio recording of the conversation before the media persons, declaring it a concrete evidence of the CTD’s involvement in hurling serious threats at him.
However, it was later discovered that the caller was not a CTD official when the police force investigated the phone call. The calls were traced to a practicing medic, Dr Hamayun Taimoor. “Dr Taimoor is resident of Askari Complex of Cantonment Board Lahore and he has nothing to do with the CTD,” says a senior CTD official. The CTD has already approached the police in Lahore to arrest the man behind the calls.
