The Hyderabad police put in place strict security arrangements on Thursday a day after a lawyer shot her sister dead inside the courtroom of Sindh High Court Hyderabad Circuit Bench. Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Hyderabad Range Sanaullah Abbasi visited the court and met the judges and registrar on Thursday.
According to police spokesman Mazhar Shani, the DIG briefed them about the new security mechanism. Abbasi said that two policemen each were deployed at all the three gates of the SHC building and a similar number were also deputed at the gates and buildings of the District and Sessions Court, Civil Court and the Anti Terrorism Court.
He further said that no person, including the lawyers and the court staff, would be allowed to enter the premises without body check as earlier the bars had protested the body checks of lawyers. Meanwhile, the Cant police station obtained a three-day remand of Advocate Javed Iqbal Shaikh, who killed his sister Raheela Shaikh in the court.
