SIALKOT JAIL CASE: The ATC No 1 continued the hearing of Sialkot jail case and recorded the arguments of defence counsel here on Thursday.
Advocate Muzaher Naqvi said the operation continued for 10 hours while judges were killed by Shahbaz Butt, Ijaz Butt and their accomplices and not police.
He said on that day a lawyer died and the courts were closed so there was no justification of jail visit of judges. If they had received any directive for the visit, then why they did not inform the district police officer.
He said the prosecution dropped the evidence of 28 witnesses, including the then DIG Tariq Salim Dogar, DPO Ghulam Muhammad Kalyar, jail superintendent Shaukat Feroze and inspector Sanaullah Dhillon, etc., due to which facts could not come to light.
He said the accused had demanded a bus and five Kalashnikovs.
He claimed that the judges were already killed when police started the operation while police officials were innocent.
