ISLAMABAD, Nov 7 (EW): The Supreme Court on Monday directed inspector general of Punjab Police to register a first information report on the assassination attempt on PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
“Register an FIR within 24 hours or else we will take suo motu notice,” remarked Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial while issuing the directives.
However, the IG Punjab Faisal Shahkar informed the court that the provincial government was not allowing him to register the FIR.
“Under the criminal justice system, police can register the FIR itself. It’s been more than 90 hours but an FIR has not been registered,” observed the CJP.
