Court indicts Balochistan MPA Achakzai for running over traffic cop

QUETTA: A sessions court indicted on Monday Balochistan MPA Abdul Majeed Achakzai in relation to the case against the lawmaker for running his vehicle over a traffic policeman on duty.

Pashtoonkhwa Milli Awami Party MPA Dr Abdul Majeed Khan Achakzai’s vehicle was speeding along GPO Chowk intersection when it rammed into Traffic Sub-Inspector Haji Ataullah, which wounded him fatally, on June 20.

Today, the sessions court was hearing the case, where the MPA appeared before it.

After the court's ruling, Achakzai refused to accept the charges against him.

The court in its next hearing has directed the witnesses to appear before it.

Earlier, a discriminatory attitude in the case was witnessed, when despite the incident's CCTV video, an FIR was registered against 'unidentified persons'.
