ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar on Tuesday has expressed dissatisfaction over inquiry into killing of ten-year-old Amal in police encounter.

During the hearing, the top judge has ordered to constitute a judicial committee to probe into the circumstances leading to girl’s death. He also directed to recommend measures for improvement of medical facilities in the hospitals.

Meanwhile, victim’s father thanked CJP for taking up the case and recalled the incident, saying, “A dacoit snatched my wife’s phone and bag on gun-point in Akhtar Colony and fled the scene.”

As soon as I started the car, we heard a gunshot and a bullet suddenly hit our windshield and severely injured my daughter, he continued.

We took Amal to the hospital where doctors refused to treat her and also removed artificial respiratory pump after which, she succumbed to the injuries, they added.

Subsequently, notices have been sent to the advocate-general, health secretary, inspector-general of police and NMC administrator in this regard.
