A: I maintain my earlier statement. I might have been wrong in the name but
the officer was of the rank of brigadier serving in the area of Mehar in 1984
when Durrani was SP.
Q: It was wrong that your brother had made any such complaint to any of the
military officers?
A: A verbal complaint was made. I don't know whether inquiry was made,
but the gamblers were arrested.
Q: It is absolutely incorrect that a gambling den was run with the support and
connivance of Durrani?
A: I stick to my earlier statement.
Q: Durrani had never given any threats to Ashiq Jatoi, Mir Murtaza or
intimated them on Sept 18 on telephone, two days before the actual shooting?
A: This is incorrect and whatever I have stated is correct.
Q: The allegations made by you are on the basis of a conspiracy to involve
Durrani in this case?
A: No.
The witness after his examination was asked if he wanted to add anything to
his statement. He said a raid was conducted by inspector Allah Bux Bhatti
under the orders of the brigadier and the SP came to know of it after the raid
and arrest.
