The court has directed police to provide all necessary facilities to Achakzai.

QUETTA (Dunya News) - Balochistan legislator Majeed Khan Achakzai was handed over to police on Thursday on an additional seven-day remand.

The MPA was arrested and remanded for five days after his vehicle killed a traffic policeman Attaullah after hitting him near Quetta s GPO Chowk earlier this week.

The court has directed police to provide all necessary facilities to Achakzai.

Earlier, the family of the slain traffic police constable refuted claims of entering into an agreement with the MPA. Attaullah’s son Moazzam has revealed that they have not made their peace with the MPA. He insists that his family will not pardon Achakzai for the murder of the police constable.

Moazzam says that their thumbprints were taken on an empty stamp paper forcibly.

Attaullah’s family sources have disclosed that Dera Ghazi Khan’s political personalities are being used for the conciliation whereas the forced signatures on the agreement were taken on June 25.

The footage of the accident clearly shows that the vehicle which hit the traffic police constable was being driven by Achakzai himself.
