[DAWN] The Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... High Court (BHC) on Wednesday rejected the bail application of Public Accounts Committee Chairman Majeed Khan Achakzai in a case pertaining to the death of a traffic policeman who was allegedly run over by the politician's car. A traffic sergeant, Haji Attaullah, was run over and killed near Quetta's GPO Chowk in June when a vehicle allegedly belonging to the politician ran him over. The incident had come to light shortly after footage of the politician's vehicle ramming into the traffic officer began circulating on social media. The politician was taken into police custody after a campaign on social media mounted pressure on the government to arrest him. Earlier, when Achakzai was remanded into policy custody, he confessed to his involvement in the accident and claimed to have agreed to compensate the family members of the slain traffic policeman, police said. |
