ATC to announce verdict in Intezar murder case on 30th
July 16, 2021
An anti-terrorism court (ATC) has reserved its verdict in a teenager’s murder case after a three-year-long trial against policemen. The ATC-VII is set to announce the decision on July 30, as the prosecution and the defence have completed their arguments.
Intezar Ahmed, 19, was allegedly murdered by policemen in the upmarket DHA neighbourhood on January 13, 2018. According to his father Ishtiaq Ahmed, his son had left the house to eat out with his friends but was later brutally murdered. He claimed that his son’s murder was pre-planned.
Eight policemen belonging to the Anti-Car Lifting Cell Tariq Rahim, Tariq Mehmood, Azhar Ahsan, Shahid, Fawad Khan, Daniyal, Bilal Rasheed and Ghulam Abbas went to trial on a charge of murder.

AFGHANISTAN is heading towards a full-blown civil war, following the US-led troop pullout and, with Pakistan fearing the inevitable fallout of that slide into chaos, the military and intelligence chiefs briefed a parliamentary committee, notably including opposition members, this last Thursday.
In the words of Interior Minister Shaikh Rashid Ahmed, the meeting marked the beginning of a national consensus where all political parties shunned their differences and decided ‘to stand behind the army’ on this issue critical to national security.
Although bound by in camera rules and, therefore, unwilling to share many details of the briefing, all that some other participants were willing to say was that the meeting was marked by the bonhomie one parliamentarian attributed to a ‘timid’ opposition. Barring one nobody raised any thorny issue.
