The tribunal at this stage showed him the pictures and asked the witness to
comment on it.
A: We should have asked for them (pictures), it was negligence on our part
that we did not ask for them earlier.
Q: SP Shukaib Qureshi or ASP Rai Tahir had not informed you about these
pictures?
A: No. At the time when I took over the investigations, the SP had gone
underground, but I have seen Rai Tahir twice who is under custody.
The counsel for the DIG Karachi, ASP Rai Tahir and ASP Shahid Hayat,
Karim Khan Agha, made an observation that his clients were not satisfied the
way the investigations are being conducted.
Tribunal: You should go to the high court and then ask for change of
investigators of the team and the courts have jurisdiction, but the high court
cannot interfere with the investigations.
The next witness was Allah Dino Khowaja, 31, a former SSP of district South,
and presently the director of Anti-Corruption Establishment, Sindh. He said
he took over as SSP (south) on October 15, 1996 by a notification dated Sept
29 and he was to assist the team of investigators in all the FIRs.
For three days he was investigation officer in the FIR No. 443/96 lodged by
Noor Mohammad and on Nov. 29 he was transferred from the post of SSP
and asked to report to the Services and General Administration Department.
Q: Did you come across any pictures of the incident at the instance of the
police?
A: I asked SP Shukaib Qureshi about them on the same night and he wanted
to give them, but before he could do that, I was transferred.
Q: Any entries made of the pictures?
A: No.
Q: Did you ask SI Khurram Waris about the pictures?
