The Joint Investigation Team (JIT) on Thursday has submitted a report in the Supreme Court (SC) declaring Minister for Science and Technology Azam Khan Swati guilty in Islamabad Inspector General (IG) of Police transfer case.
Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar said that the case should be registered on the basis of this report as apology is not acceptable because poor people were tortured.
JIT report revealed that Azam Sawati has misused authority. The CJP questioned the government s decision of keeping Azam Sawati in his position under Article 62(1)(F).
The CJP called the victim family on to the rostrum and said that we are fighting for your right but you are accepting apology.
However, the hearing was adjourned till December 4.
IGP Muhammad, a basic pay scale (BPS) grade 20 officer of the Police Services of Pakistan (PSP) had been directed to report to the Establishment Division on October 27. The officer was transferred apparently following a verbal order from Prime Minister Imran Khan who was allegedly pushed into making the move following complaints from Swati.
The PTI leader was apparently calling the IGP so that he could have a case registered against people living around his farmhouse. Swati had claimed that some men from the nearby slums had trespassed over his property and were getting into altercations with their staff.
As soon as Muhammad was removed as IGP, a case for the matter was registered at the Secretariat police station on the complaint of Swati’s son. The accused were arrested and sent to Adiala jail.
The revelation was part of a report submitted by the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing the ‘illegal’ transfer of former Islamabad police chief after he did not attend Swati’s phone call.
The JIT had been formed by the top court after taking suo motu notice of former Islamabad Police Inspector General Jan Muhammad’s transfer from the capital. The JIT comprises the Intelligence Bureau’s (IB) Ahmad Rizwan, Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) Mir Vaiz Niaz and a director general from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB)
