ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court on Sunday summoned comprehensive report from top police officer of the Punjab province over the killing of a mother and her daughter who were gunned down by opponents in court premises of Jahania – a periphery area of Multan.
Taj Bibi,55, her daughter Asma Bibi were shot dead when they were returning after attending the court proceedings where Taj Bibi’s husband murder trial was under adjudication on Saturday morning.
Failure of Punjab police has been reported in protecting lives of both the ladies as son of the deceased mother Hameed Akbar Khan repeatedly sought police security while informing about intentions of killers Naeem Khan, Musharraf and Amir Khalil but police paid no heed.
Taking suo-moto notice over footage viral on social media about women were allegedly murdered by their opponents when the mother and daughter were returning after attending court, the Chief Mian Saqib Nisar issued a directive to Inspector General of Punjab Police to submit report within three days.
