Casting doubts over a police encounter in PIB Colony in which four young people were killed on April 28, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan has demanded of the government to conduct a high-level inquiry into the shootout and allow the relatives of the victims to lodge FIRs.
On night of April 28, the PIB Colony police claimed to have killed two notorious gangsters belonging to the Ahmed Ali Magsi gang over their alleged involvement in “extortion, drugs sale and rape of women”. Two other young people injured in the shootout also died after a few days.
