Shakeel Goraya will submit the inquiry report to the high court in one month. The Lahore High Court (LHC) had ordered on Thursday to conduct a judicial inquiry into the alleged police encounter, and sought its report within 30 days.
Earlier in January, a shootout of the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) personnel had claimed the lives of four people - including three members of a family. A two-member bench headed by Chief Justice Lahore High Court Justice Sardar Muhammad Shamim, took up the case in which Joint Investigation Team (JIT) head Aijaz Shah, heirs of the victims and their lawyers appeared before it.
As the hearing went underway, Shah presented a progress report on the incident, and informed the court that statements of seven eye-witnesses were recorded.
