Q: How did the DSP and inspector of the Crimes Branch saw those
photographs?
A: They were with me and both showed no interest in them and I thought Rai
Tahir had sent a set of them to all those who are concerned with it.
Q: For what purpose you kept them with you and what you intended to do
with them and why not they were sent along with the investigation papers to
the crimes branch?
A: They were received by me after the papers were dispatched to the crimes
branch.
Q: Why didn't you ask Rai Tahir about the photographs?
A: Neither he asked me about it, nor I inquired from him.
Q: Were you or are you still thinking that these pictures are of help to the
investigators?
A: Yes, it might be useful.
Q: Can you give any reason in this case why normal rules were not followed?
A: I did whatever was told or directed by the seniors. I have done whatever I
know of investigation.
Tribunal: Your performance was one of carelessness or mala fide.
Q: Did you prepare a sketch of the area and marked the area from where the
empty bullet shells were recovered or just picked them up wherever they
were found by you and your men?
A: Everything was done in the presence of SP Shukaib Qureshi and when the
collection of empty shells was over, he asked all of us to move.
Q: Did you seal the area and re-visited the place again in daylight and any
finger-prints were taken from the place?
