Two policemen have been suspended after being found guilty in an inquiry into the Korangi shootout that injured a couple a few days back. The inquiry report was ordered by Inspector General Police Kalim Imam after taking notice of the matter. “The couple were injured in a firing incident when a policeman fired shots at a person who had snatched a submachine gun of his fellow cop,” the inquiry report read. The inquiry committee has also recommended the authorities concerned to lodge a case against the guilty officers. An eyewitness Shafqat Zareen, on Sunday, had claimed that the couple was shot and injured by the police personnel. Shafqat Zareen told journalists that his sister and brother-in-law were injured by the bullets of police officials. Zareen said that as soon as the couple went out of their home, they heard the sound of gunshots and rushed to the gate, where he saw police personnel running towards them. Senior Superintendent Police Malir Ali Raza said that they were probing the incident and added that the police officials were chasing the suspects who had snatched their government’s weapon.
