(Lahore) A man facing the murder charge was
gunned down on Monday outside a courtroom at the sessions court allegedly by
the complainant party. Shahdara police had registered a case against Muhammad
Nawaz on charges of killing his relative; Javed; over a property dispute. Nawaz
arrived at the sessions court for hearing of his petition for pre-arrest bail
in the case. He was about to enter the courtroom when the assailant appeared
and shot him in the head. Nawaz died on the spot while the killer escaped
without facing any resistance from the security personnel deputed on the
court’s premises. Later; Capital City Police Officer Zulfiqar Hameed along with
other senior police officers reached the sessions court and inspected the crime
scene. He met the Lahore Bar Association’s office-bearers and discussed the
loopholes in the security arrangements in and outside the sessions court. The LBA
leaders condemned the incident and the police failure to ensure security of the
citizens on the court’s premises. The CCPO assured the bar of early arrest of
the culprit with the help of the CCTV footage. The officer also issued orders
for foolproof security arrangements at district courts in the city.
