Expressing displeasure over conduct of investigation officer, Sindh High Court on Friday directed him to either procure information about missing MQM activist's mobile phone and his location or ask DIG concerned to appear before court.
A division bench headed by Justice Sajjad Ali Shah, was hearing a petition filed by Muhammad Usman, seeking whereabouts of his brother Muhammad Farhan, who has been missing since December 7, 2013.
The petitioner's counsel submitted that Muhammad Farhan, MQM worker, was picked up by the personnel of law enforcement agencies on December 7, 2013 from Gulshan-e-Maymmar area and since then there was no clue of him.
He said that an FIR about his missing was also lodged with the police station concerned, but no effort was being made by law-enforcers to locate petitioner's brother. Following the court order, two meetings of the joint investigation team had taken place but it had failed to track the missing person down.
He told the judges that despite lapse of significant time, the investigation officers had also failed to obtain the data about the missing person's mobile phone.
To a query, DSP Shaukat Ali Shahani, who is investigating the case, told the court that he had written to the DIG and relevant cellular company but could elicit any response. The judges became enraged at his reply and asked if you (IO) would take six months to obtain mobile phone data, how you would be able to trace the location.
