@Santosh Menon "Really?. Where's the proof!." -- Even if there were no proof, we'd still just take a leaf out of your supreme court's book which hangs admittedly innocent people for the sake of the "public conscience." Problem solved!

@Santosh Menon Pakistan is a "Banana Republic" that is why registering a FIR against the accused, the legal way is the only sane option to proceed. The evidence will be presented in the courts.

What good that would do? a sensible thing to do is: to address the legitimate demands of the people of Baluchistan, who have taken up arms against the government
