He had not made entries in the "Roznamcha" about his entry into the police
station on duty and there was again no entry made when he left. He did not
also made entries in the daily entries register when he took the six bodies to
the hospital and neither was it entered that he was back from the hospital.
According to the "Roznamcha" and the entries made, he was not on duty and
that he should be marked absent from duty on that date, the tribunal
remarked.
The ASI when asked by the tribunal said he was making case diaries of old
cases that night. When he was asked if he can produce anyone of them from
the police station right then and he should go in a police mobile in the
company of PDSP Shamim Husain, police liaison officer, to which he had no
answer. The chairman of the tribunal observed that "we must make a
recommendation that you should not be allowed to continue any longer as a
police officer."
One of the counsel suggested that he was not at the police station, he didn't
go to the hospital with the bodies and with a mala fide intention had given
wrong information or he was suppressing facts. According to the witness,
there are 21 officers, 115 men and three mobiles in the jurisdiction of the
Clifton police station. The tribunal adjourned the hearing of the witnesses of
Murtaza's party nominees on point of conspiracy, after the evidence of
Abdullah Baloch and Dr Zahid Hussain Jatoi.
The tribunal will meet on Sunday at 9:30 am.
