Baby no more among murder suspects
34
LAHORE: Muslim Town police discharged on Saturday nine-month-old Mohammad Musa from a case of attempted murder lodged by the Sui Northern Gas Pipelines.
The case had been registered against members of a family and dozens of other inhabitants of Muslim Town after they allegedly attacked a bailiff and raiding team of the SNGPL after it went there to arrest people involved in gas theft.
Musa had already been granted a confirmed pre-arrest bail by a sessions court against surety bonds of Rs50,000.
Talking to Dawn, SSP Abdul Rab confirmed deletion of the baby’s name from the FIR. He said the controversy was a result of misunderstanding as the list of the accused provided to police by the gas company’s raiding team made no mention of their ages.

The interior minister of the country should take a notice of this case which has resulted in negative propaganda against the country and should use it as a means to reform the system which is so flexible to spare the blatant murderers and so insensitive not to spare a minor from such an abuse.

It is true that it reflects badly on police. But we all know our police. What it really reflect badly is on the judiciary. They needed a surety bond to release the baby? What if the parents did not have 50k for the surety bond. Would the police have taken the child into custody.
