LAHORE/KASUR: Nasir Rizvi, who was the district police officer (DPO) in 2017, has been restrained from traveling abroad for his alleged involvement in the murder of Mudassar in a police encounter.

An official said the process to put his name on the exit control list has been initiated, and the police may also seek details of the encounters carried out during the tenure of Mr Rizvi as the Kasur DPO.

A joint investigation team (JIT) is investigating the death of Mudassar, whose case was highlighted in the media after the arrest of Imran in the Zainab murder case. Mudassar was picked by Kasur police on Feb 24, 2017 in the rape-cum-murder of a minor girl of the locality, and was killed the same day.

The DNA profiling and revelation of Imran, later, showed that the minor girl was raped and killed by him (Imran).

The official said that the JIT had asked the Federal Investigation Agency to take measures at international airports of the country to stop the former Kasur DPO from traveling abroad.

Seven police officials have been arrested in the Mudassar case.

Also, the complainant of Mudassar extrajudicial case, on Friday, withdrew her writ petition for the registration of a criminal case against top police officials.

Jamila Bibi, mother of Mudassar and the petitioner, told the court that she would rely on the investigations of the JIT, whereas her lawyer Ali Ahmed Dogar said that even if a case was lodged on the writ petition, the investigation officer would be an inspector who might not go against the respondents in the case, who would be their bosses.

CHEHLUM: A large number of people, including politicians, members of religious parties, and relatives attended the chehlam of Zainab on Friday in the Road Kot locality.

Tahreek-i-Minhajul Quran’s Tayyab Muhammad Farhat Shah, PPP’s Chaudhry Manzoor Ahmed and DPO Zahid Nawaz Marwat were also there.
