KARACHI: Police submitted in court on Thursday the interim charge-sheet in the Intezar Ahmed murder case.

Intezar Ahmed was killed after the police’s Anti Car Lifting Cell (ACLC) officials opened fire on his vehicle on Khayaban-e-Ittehad, DHA on the night of January 13.

In the interim charge sheet, the police have given a clean chit to ACLC SSP Muqaddas Haider, whose guards allegedly shot Intezar dead.

Madiha Kayani was accompanying him in the vehicle.

SSP Muqaddas Haider was removed from his post after Intezar’s father Ishtiaq Ahmed alleged that he was instrumental in his son’s killing.

The charge sheet states that no proof has been found regarding the claims of Intezar’s father, Ishtiaq Ahmed, that the incident was the result of a personal enmity.

Additionally, it is stated in the interim charge sheet that the ACLC SSP’s guards Bilal and Danyal, fired on the vehicle.

A total of 28 witnesses have been named in the charge sheet, including Madiha Kayani and Ishtiaq.

In a video message that surfaced on Wednesday, Kayani had claimed that Intezar’s killing was premeditated.

Kayani, stating that her life is in danger, had appealed to the Rangers to provide her with security.

The witness also said that her initial statement to the police did not include certain remarks that she had made about the incident.

Qasim Shah, a mutual friend of Kayani and Intezar, had said that on Wednesday, police had taken Kayani into custody.
