Sukkur: A sessions court in Sukkur has ordered the registration of an FIR against nine police officers, including a station house officer (SHO), in connection with the alleged fake encounter killing of Jahangir Jakhrani.
According to Beyond Time News, District and Sessions Judge Allah Bachayo issued the order after reviewing evidence and a court-directed inquiry into the incident.
The case stems from a police encounter reported on October 16. Police had claimed that Jahangir Jakhrani was killed during an exchange of fire in Pano Akil.
However, the victim’s family challenged that version of events. They told the court that Jakhrani was arrested from his home before the alleged encounter took place.
FIA Inquiry Finds Encounter Was Not Genuine
During the hearing, the court examined findings from an inquiry conducted by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).
According to the report presented before the court, investigators concluded that the encounter was not genuine.
The findings raised serious concerns about the police account and supported the family’s allegations.
Video Evidence Presented
The victim’s relatives also submitted a video that allegedly showed police officers taking Jahangir Jakhrani into custody.
According to Beyond Time News, family members recorded the footage and later presented it in court.
Lawyer Murtaza Korai argued that the video contradicted the official police narrative and demonstrated that the victim had already been detained.
