Model Town tragedy: ATC seeks custody of JIT report

04 May, 2018

An Anti-Terrorism Court on Thursday issued notice to prosecution department in an application seeking custody of Joint Investigation Team's (JIT) report on Model Town killings incident. The court was hearing the application of Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) through its counsel Azhar Siddique.
The counsel said that they could not know the facts about Model Town killings incident. The prosecutor however opposed his stance and said that the JIT report had already been handed them over.
The petitioner's counsel said that the report issued by the government was incomplete and tempered.
He pleaded the court to order the government authorities to hand them over the original JIT report. The Punjab government in compliance with the court directions had published the JIT report in November last year.
The PAT's counsel said that the government did not hand them over the correct report and prayed the court to order for provision of original and complete report.
