*Justice Baqar receives death threat
Justice Ali Baqar Najafi received a death threat on Saturday through a letter demanding closure of the Lahore’s Model Town case.
The letter categorically asked for a withdrawal of the case and threatened to kill Justice Baqar and his family.
On receipt of the threat, the security for the protection of Justice Baqar was beefed-up, with additional personnel of the elite force also deployed at the Lahore High Court (LHC).
Justice Baqar was serving as a judicial commission judge which was formulated to investigate into the incident where Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) supporters broke into a clash with the police.
The incident had resulted in the death of 11 people, whereas more than 100 people were injured.
Moreover, during a trial on courts security a few days before, Justice Anwarul Haq also admitted of receiving death threats from militants.
