Sister claims assailant’s body

Published January 15, 2007

LAHORE, Jan 14: The body of Zahid Malik alias Zahdu was taken by his sister to Pattoki for burial amid tight security in early hours of Sunday.

Nargis received Zahid’s body from the city morgue at 2am in the presence of CIA and police officials and took it to Pattoki.

Zahid along with accomplices had murdered additional advocate-general Arif Bhinder and others on Friday morning and was also killed in the crossfire.

Around 25 locals attended his funeral prayers, but no nominated accused turned up there and the police teams returned empty handed.

The sources privy to investigation informed that the death of injured attacker Jojji could not be confirmed.

However, the police seized a double cabin used by Zahid and took several suspects and other people who knew him into custody for interrogation.

The sources further said a car (LW-561), which was used in Bhinder’s murder and seized by the police from Gulshan Ravi late Friday night, had been snatched from the Ghalib Market area on Sept 17 last and a case was registered in the police station.
