The Punjab police have announced their decision to challenge the acquittal of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Yasmin Rashid, which was granted by the Lahore anti-terrorism court (ATC) just a day ago in the Jinnah House attack case.
In a statement posted on Twitter, the Punjab police declared, “We are committed to ensuring that all conspirators, planners, and perpetrators of the May 9 incident, including Dr. Yasmin Rashid, will be brought to justice.”
However, the police have decided to challenge the court’s acquittal order, citing the lack of opportunity given to present crucial forensic evidence in the case.
The Punjab police assert their right to continue investigating the case and to unveil the truth to the public adding to the finality of the court order will be subject to the decision of the high court.
The police urged caution and discouraged premature assumptions or interference at this stage, emphasizing that such actions are likely to be misleading.
