MPA Majeed Achakzai indicted for running over traffic cop

Author: inp

QUETTA: A sessions court on Monday indicted Balochistan MPA Abdul Majeed Achakzai for running his vehicle over an on duty traffic policeman.

Pashtoonkhwa Milli Awami Party (PMAP) MPA Abdul Majeed Khan Achakzai’s vehicle was speeding along the GPO Chowk intersection when it rammed into Sub-Inspector Haji Ataullah. Following the court’s ruling, Achakzai refused to accept the charges against him.

In its next hearing the court directed witnesses to appear before it. Earlier, a discriminatory attitude was observed in Achakzai’s case, when despite having the incident’s CCTV video as evidence, an FIR was registered against ‘unidentified persons’. The video of the incident went viral on social media in June, after which the traffic police took action against the death of their colleague.

Abdul Majeed Achakzai was elected to the provincial assembly from PB-13 Killa Abdullah.
