| ‘Courtesy phone call’ adds to confusion in Sahiwal killings case |
| 2019-01-30 |
| [DAWN] The Counter Terrorism Department has approached the Lahore police for the arrest of its "so-called official" shortly after the lawyer for the family of the Sahiwal firing victims claimed that he had received a threatening call from a senior officer of the CTD. Lawyer Syed Shahbaz Bukhari, while talking to the media at his office here on Monday, 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. Mr Bukhari said he had also provided the audio recording of the "CTD officer" to the Joint Investigation Team headed by additional IG Police Ijaz Hussain Shah. He requested the JIT to make it part of the investigation as evidence to proceed against the officers according to the law. However, Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried... the matter took a surprise turn later in the day when the CTD investigated the issue and got data of the "caller" and traced him as a practicing medic Dr Hamayun Taimoor. The CTD also obtained his Computerised National Identity Card and the record of SIM he had used to make the audio call which was recorded by the lawyer. "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. |
