Info

A: The SDM, SSP, DIG and other senior officials and in connection with mainly security alertness and there was nothing about the incident as far as I remember. Q: Did you inform the DC of non-cooperation of the police in giving out information about the dead, that is, as to where they had been kept? A: This was in the knowledge of the DC. Q: Was there any inquiry as to why there was such a long delay? A: No. Q: Was there any meeting held by the chief secretary on this issue. Whether this matter was discussed to locate where the lacunae or lapses were and those lapses or deficiencies should not be repeated? A: No. Not in my knowledge. At the end of the examination of the two SDMs, the tribunal rose for the day to meet again on Sunday at 11:30 am to examine other witnesses. Murtaza Bhutto; Copyright © www.bhutto.org 232
MURTAZA BHUTTO TRIBUNAL PRESS REPORTER RECORDS HIS STATEMENT BEFORE TRIBUNAL From: Iqbal Qureshi KARACHI, Dec 11, 1996: Najeeb Ahmed, Crime reporter of the daily Jung , on Wednesday said that on September 20 last at about 9.15 p.m. he was near the 70-Clifton and on finding late Mir Murtaza and Ashiq Hussain Jatoi seriously injured shouted at the policemen standing nearby as to why were they not shifting the injured to the hospital. After sometime an armoured carrier car reached near the four private vehicles parked in a row opposite the Clifton Garden and the ASP Roy Tahir got down from it and opened the left side door of the blue coloured Pajero. Mir Murtaza Bhutto seemed to be seriously injured got down on his own but staggered and with the support of Roy Tahir and some policemen was put in the police mobile in its rear portion. He found Ashiq Hussain Jatoi, seated in the driver s seat with his head kneeled down on the steering wheel. As there was no movement in his body, he came to the conclusion that he was perhaps dead. Najeeb was recording his evidence before the 3-member enquiry tribunal probing into the causes and circumstances of the police firing on the motorcade of Mir Murtaza near his 70-Clifton on his return from Surjani Town after addressing a public meeting on September 20 last at about 8.35 p.m. Headed by Mr. Justice Nasir Aslam Zahid, Judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. It consists of Mr Justice Amanullah Abbasi and Mr. Justice Dr Ghous Mohammad, of the Sindh High Court. Najeeb said that he knew ASP Roy Tahir before, but did not have intimate relations with him. He did not know if the ASP Roy Tahir had accompanied late Mir Murtaza to the hospital. The policemen present there had threatened him for his presence on the scene of the incident and had been asking him to get lost. In the meantime, a group of Press reporters and photographers reached there near the DIG Karachi s bungalow and the policemen started manhandling the press people and snatching cameras from the photogrpahers.
