Chakwal killing: Victim's father alleges robbers didn't fire, police forced him to sign blank paper

A new and disturbing twist has emerged in the killing of nine-year-old Hania Ahmed in Chakwal, Pakistan, as her father alleges that police fabricated the initial report of the incident. Adeel Ahmed claims that robbers were not responsible for the fatal shooting, but rather a Crime Control Department (CCD) official fired directly, killing his daughter.

“

when he was brought to District Headquarters Hospital in critical condition, Constable Ateeque was present at the police service counter and misbehaved with him.

Hania, an Australian citizen visiting Pakistan, was killed on June 10 during a robbery. Her father and 11-year-old brother were injured in the incident. While authorities initially described it as "criminal negligence," the father's recent application to the District Police Officer suggests a deliberate cover-up.

“

when City Police Station personnel arrived at the hospital, Constable Ateeque and sub-inspector Abdullah listened to the entire incident and then allegedly pressured him to sign and put his thumbprint on a blank paper, saying he would only then be allowed to see a doctor.

Adeel Ahmed alleges that City Police Sub-Inspector Ahsan Abdullah misrepresented the event in the first information report (FIR), stating that robbers opened fire. He further claims that while he and his son were being treated at the hospital, Constable Ateeque and Sub-Inspector Abdullah pressured him to sign a blank paper before he could see a doctor. He states he was in shock, his daughter was deceased, and his wife was severely distressed.

“

when he came to Dhudial the next day to attend his daughter’s funeral, he met CCD Sub-Inspector Muhammad Irfan, as the investigation had been transferred from City Police Station to the CCD. It was then, Adeel said, that he came to know that the incident had occurred due to direct firing by a CCD constable.

After signing the blank paper, Adeel and his son were taken for medical examination. The investigation was later transferred to the CCD. It was then that Adeel learned the incident was due to direct firing by a CCD constable. He also alleges that Sub-Inspector Abdullah altered the FIR, changing the charge from intentional murder (Section 302) to unintentional murder (Section 322) of the Pakistan Penal Code, despite the details indicating intentional killing. Adeel asserts this was done to benefit the accused.

“

This was fabricated by the Sub-Inspector Ahsan Abdullah solely to benefit the accused in the case.
