Wajid Durrani leaving in a Toyota jeep. When he saw me he came and sat in
my vehicle and the time was about 9:25 pm.
Q: Was firing continuing at that time?
A: No. It had ceased.
Q: Did not the SSP say whether there was no danger then for them to move ?
A: The SSP was disturbed and he informed me that an encounter had taken
place. We were hardly together for a minute.
Q: What was the situation on the scene of the incident?
A: ASP Tahir was there and he told me that Mir Murtaza was injured
seriously and was bleeding profusely and had been shifted to nearby Mideast
Hospital.
Q: What effect the scene had on you?
A: The impression was quite shocking.
Q: What did you see which shocked you?
A: I saw two bodies near a Pajero and one near the footpath and another body
few paces away and two more bodies on the footpath, and a lot of blood.
Q: Did they look like dead bodies?
A: The bodies on the footpath of the DIG House were motionless and that the
SSP was telling the ASP that one of the two was still breathing. I had never
seen the six dead. The SSP said they have to be shifted. I was told by the ASP
that Mir Murtaza was hit (by bullets) and he was in hospital. Then I went to
the hospital.
Q: When you reached near the scene of the incident, the street-lights were on.
Did you see any police vehicles, APCs, police officers and men, private
vehicles etc?
