The JIT has recommended that a case should be lodged against the CTD officials.
Earlier, the family of Sahiwal incident victims had lodged a FIR against the personnel of Punjab police of kidnapping the Khalil’s family and then killing them with a planned strategy on G.T Road on Saturday.
16 unknown men have been named in the complaint.
The case was registered on the complaint of Mohammad Jalil, a brother of Khalil, who was among those shot dead by the CTD men.
The FIR was lodged under Section 302 of the Pakistan Penal Code and Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997. However, nobody has been nominated in the FIR as the names of those officials who took part in the operation had not been provided by the CTD.
Ten officials in uniform and six in plainclothes carried out the operation.
According to the details, Mohammad Khalil along with his family members including wife, four children and driver left Lahore at 08:30 am to Burewala to attend a wedding.
The FIR alleged that 16 persons in a Elite van kidnapped the family when it crossed the Okara bypass and took them to a pre-decided place near Qadirabad on main G.T Road and opened fire on the car killing Khalil, wife Nabeela, daughter Areeba and driver Zeeshan on the spot.
While, son Mohammad Umair, daughter Muniba and Jaziba suffered injuries.
The Sahiwal incident has sent shock waves across the country with Prime Minister Imran Khan promising swift action against those involved in the gruesome act.
A video surfaced on social media exposed the claims of Counter Terrorism Department that they were militants and were killed in encounter.
A Joint Investigation Team has been constituted to probe the matter which would finalise the report in 72 hours.
Names of CTD personnel involved in Sahiwal encounter surface
The names of Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) personnel involved in the notorious Sahiwal shootout have surfaced days after three members of a family killedand a suspected terrorist was killed.
Khalil, a grocer in Kot Lakhpat, Lahore, his wife Nabeela, their 13-year-old daughter, and their neighbour, Zeeshan, were on their way to a wedding in Burewala on Saturday when they were killed in firing on their car by CTD officials near the toll plaza on GT Road in the Qadirabad area.
The CTD team was reportedly led by Sub-Inspector (SI) Safdar Hussain, whereas Ahsan, Muhammad Ramzan, Saifullah and Hasnain Akbar were also a part of the team.
According to the initial investigation, the personnel shot at the vehicle from the front and both sides, resulting in the death of four people, including a minor.
The claim in CTD’s statement that the persons traveling in the car retaliated by opening fire was incorrect as “no evidence of firing from inside the car” could be obtained, reports claimed, adding that even the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) was not called on by the CTD team after the shootout despite claims of recovering explosives from the custody of the deceased.
According to reports, the crime scene was cleared without taking evidence.
Neighbours of Zeeshan, the terror suspect, have maintained that was a nice person. He was willing to join the Dolphin Force soon, they reasoned.
His brother, Ehtisham, was already in the force, and Zeeshan had also given his Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) to his brother for the purpose.
However, reports quoting the CTD officials say that the encounter was carried out on the information passed by the informer.
The police had earlier registered a first information report (FIR), number 33/19, against 16 CTD officials involved in the killing. The CTD personnel were taken into custody following the directives issued by the Punjab chief minister.
