OKARA, Feb 5: The district and sessions judge has ordered a judicial inquiry into killing of two alleged proclaimed offenders in an encounter with police on Tuesday.

Police had claimed that POs Fakhri and Fiaz were killed in a shootout at Basirpur.

Judge Nasim Akhtar Khan appointed on Wednesday Deepalpur’s special judicial magistrate Rana Aamir Karim as the inquiry officer.

Aslam said in an application that his brother Fiaz was a labourer and Basirpur police killed him in a staged encounter without any justification.

The officer visited the site of the encounter and recovered statements of three passers-by who were injured in the shootout, Zahid and his father Sadiq, and the mother of Fiaz.

Magistrate Karim will record the statements of other witnesses at Deepalpur courts.
