A judicial commission is going to be formed for the Usama Satti murder case. The formation of the commission is one of the main demands his family had.
Usama was a 21-year-old man killed by the police in Islamabad on January 2 for not stopping his car.
The district magistrate of Islamabad has written to the district administration for the formation of the judicial commission.
The chairman of the Standing Committee on Interior, Raja Khurram Nawaz, says they will also put the issue before Prime Minister Imran Khan during a cabinet meeting.
A Joint Investigation Team has been formed by the Islamabad chief commissioner to investigate the killing of an unarmed young man on Friday night. Islamabad police personnel opened fire at and killed the young man for not stopping his car near Sector G-10. He has been identified as Usama Satti. The JIT is being headed by Saddar SP Sarfaraz Virk and will have representatives from the ISI, MI and IB as well as the Ramna DSP, Investigations DSP and Ramna SHO. According to his family, the 21-year-old was coming back after dropping a friend to university when the incident took place. “He was shot just for not stopping his car,” the victim’s father said in a video statement. .
