The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday directed prime minister's adviser on Accountability and Interior Mirza Shahzad Akbar to prepare and submit a detailed report on the worrisome state of affairs of Islamabad Capital Territory’s police investigation, 24NewsHD TV channel reported.
IHC Chief Justice Minallah directed Shahzad Akbar to submit a detailed report on the issue to Prime Minister Imran Khan within two weeks and in the IHC within three weeks.
The court was hearing a petition filed by the mother of Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) Joint Director Sajid Gondal.
Justice Minallah said ICT should have been a model city but the standard of police investigation is extremely poor and despite a court ruling, there was no prosecution branch in Islamabad. IHC CJ told Akbar to tell the prime minister that the rights of a common man are being crushed.
Shahzad Akbar, Islamabad Deputy Commissioner Hamza Shafaat, Islamabad inspector general of police and interior secretary, appeared before IHC.
The hearing was adjourned until October 19.
