LAHORE: Police have registered a case and arrested a man suspected of running over two police officials in the Defence area of Lahore, resulting in the death of one.
Constable Mustansir died on the spot in the accident, while another named Qasim was seriously injured and rushed to the hospital for treatment.
The car was driven by a son of Chaudhry Munir Ahmed, a relative of PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz, who was allegedly drunk when he crushed the police officials under the car, sources told Pakistan Today.
It may be mentioned here that the police have taken Saeed, a servant of the car’s owner, into custody instead of arresting the reported driver and owner.
Pakistan Today, however, could not reach Ch Munir for comments over the issue.
According to the sources, the heirs of the deceased constable have been pressurised by some police officials to let go of the incident in return for a big amount of money.
A CCTV footage which has captured the incident shows the personnel attempting to run for their lives, as the car takes a sharp turn towards them while apparently trying to take over a car parked ahead of it at the picket.
