KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday directed the provincial police chief, AD Khawaja to supervise the interrogation of all ‘half fried and full fried’ cases and sought a report in this regard.
A division bench was hearing a petition of a father of Abdul Jabbar Talpur, a youth from Matiari who was allegedly killed after being detained by the law enforcement agencies two years ago.
The petitioner submitted that his son Jabbar and brother were taken into custody and later Jabbar was killed in a fake encounter. He alleged that ASP Nawabshah confessed before the Joint Investigation Team that the police wanted to ‘half fry’ (arrest in injured condition) Jabbar but mistakenly he got ‘full fried (got killed).
Expressing dissatisfaction on provincial task force report, the bench asked the inspector general of police to supervise the investigation of extra judicial killings himself and submit the report before it. It also summoned the concerned SHO in the next hearing.
