ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan has summoned a report within three days from the federal and provincial governments pertaining to a woman being stoned to death in Khanewal.During the hearing of the suo moto case of the Khanewal incident, Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry remarked that the morgue and post mortem reports had different facts.
The case was being heard by a three member bench of the Supreme Court and IGP Punjab and the concerned DPO were present during proceedings.
The police officers informed the court that the cause of the woman’s death was strangulation and she was killed by her husband. They also said that the forensic report had been received.
The Chief Justice told the IGP that his job did not entail providing security protocol, adding that a woman had been stoned to death, her husband had been picked up and when the court took notice the husband was found sleeping next to a lake within ten minutes.
“No one from the investigation officer to the IG is worthy of staying at their position,” Chief Justice remarked.
The Chief Justice further said that he would like to see how the Prime Minister would not act against the IG Police.
