Islamabad; A judicial inquiry into the killing of 22 year old
Usama Satti; carried out by the Additional Deputy Commissioner (General)
Islamabad; has termed it deliberate killing, and that the young man was shot
from all directions and his death was not a mere accident. According to the
inquiry report; Usama Satti was not shot by a single officer of the
Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) as the police had earlier claimed. He suffered ‘multiple
gunshots fired at him from all directions; which shows that the officers
involved had every intention to kill him.’ The report further added that the
news of Usama Satti's death was "deliberately hidden from his family for
four hours and that the officers involved tried to sweep the matter under the
rug’. ‘The officers tried to turn the incident into a robbery case and kept
senior officials in the dark;’ the report revealed; adding that ‘Rescue 1122
personnel trying to reach the site of the incident were repeatedly provided with
the wrong location details.’ The judicial inquiry report; the officers present
at the site of the incident did not even take any pictures. The deceased was
not involved in any robbery or criminal cases; the report said, adding that the
duty officers ‘became part of the incident due to their irresponsible attitude’.
‘Shell casings recovered from the site of the incident were sent to the
forensic labs after 72 hours;’ the report further detailed. ‘Usama's car was
shot at 22 times.’ The report said that officers who later reached the site of
the incident also tried to ‘get rid of the evidence’. Meanwhile; Prime Minister
Imran Khan Wednesday assured slain Satti's father of justice. In his meeting
with Nadeem Younis Satti; the premier prayed for the soul of the slain youth
and expressed deep sorrow over the tragic incident.
