Police Constable’s Murder During PTI Protest: FIR Filed Against Imran Khan and Other Leaders
A First Information Report (FIR) has been filed at the Taxila police station against the founding leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, along with other senior party members, including Umar Amin Gandapur, Salar Khan Kakakd, and Shahid Khatak, in connection with the killing of police constable Mubashir Hassan during protests near Hakeela Interchange.
The FIR includes charges under the Anti-Terrorism Act, among 14 different sections. According to the report, armed assailants attacked police officers with sticks and stones, violating Section 144 and engaging in shelling, which caused the police to disperse. During the chaos, the attackers abducted Constable Mubashir Hassan in an injured state.
The FIR also states that three other policemen, Constables Adnan, Rais, and Naeem, were injured during the attack. Authorities later learned that the assailants abandoned the severely wounded Constable Hassan under the Hakeela bridge before fleeing the scene. Despite being rushed to the hospital, Constable Mubashir Hassan, aged 46 and a resident of Muzaffargarh, succumbed to his injuries.
Mubashir Hassan, who leaves behind three children, including two daughters, was serving in the police force and was part of the security detail during the PTI-led protests. The tragic incident has sparked widespread condemnation, with calls for swift justice for the slain officer.
The filing of the FIR against prominent PTI leaders marks a significant development in the case, raising political tensions and putting the spotlight on the conduct of political protests and law enforcement in Pakistan.
