MUZAFFARABAD, Oct 12: A single member bench of the AJK High Court here on Thursday took strong exception to the alleged incompetence of police with regard to the inquiry into last year’s attack on the high court chief justice and directed them to complete it in three months.

Justice M Tabassum Aftab Alvi, who was annoyed to hear that two members of investigating team had been transferred to Bagh and Rawalakot, respectively, directed that inquiry officer, Irfan Salim, currently serving as additional SP Mirpur, should be made to sit in Muzaffarabad until the completion of investigations in 90 days. He expressed dissatisfaction at the clarification of SSP Raja Shafqat Tanveer Khan and directed him to nominate two competent police officers along with SP Salim so that he could accomplish the task within the stipulated period.—Staff Correspondent
