Sahiwal shooting: Deputy Commissioner says CTD did not face retaliation
CTD spokesperson claims four alleged terrorists including two women were killed in an IBO
SAHIWAL (Dunya News) – Contradictions in statements from law enforcement agencies have raised further doubts over alleged encounter by Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) personnel near Sahiwal district today (Saturday).
In his statement, Deputy Commissioner (DC) Sahiwal has now clarified that CTD personnel did not face any retaliation from those sitting inside the car.
The statement made the incident further controversial, as earlier CTD spokesperson claimed that four alleged terrorists including two women were killed in an intelligence based operation (IBO) in Qadirabad area near Sahiwal.
The spokesperson claimed that the passengers of the car opened fire on officers who were trying to intercept the vehicle and a motorcycle on GT Road.
The CTD further claimed that the slain were linked to a group involved in the abducting of former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani’s son and an American citizen. Three ‘terrorists’ including Abdul Rehman and Shahid Jabbar fled from the scene, it added.
