PAF officer’s alleged killer sent to jail in Islamabad

An anti-terrorism court in Islamabad has ordered the alleged killer of Pakistan Air Force Group Captain Asim Tariq to be held in jail for 14 days. The suspect, identified as Saad Abbasi, was brought before the court under heavy security on Monday.

The court issued the judicial remand order to facilitate an identity parade. According to police, Abbasi is accused of shooting Group Captain Tariq on Sunday. The incident reportedly occurred when the officer intervened as Abbasi allegedly attempted to abduct a woman in Islamabad.

Prosecutor Raja Naveed and the investigating officer presented the case to the court. The investigating officer informed the court that a case had been registered against Abbasi under anti-terrorism law at the Margalla Police Station. The court accepted the request for an identity parade and remanded the suspect for 14 days, directing officials to submit a report upon completion. Further proceedings are scheduled for July 20.
