\n\u201cWe attempted to conduct an inquiry, but the accused want an escape,\u201d the investigation officer told the court. \u201cHave you issued arrest warrants for the policemen? If they are not joining the investigation, arrest them. There is one law for everyone. There will be no separate law for the policemen,\u201d Justice Babar Sattar said to the investigation officer.
\n\u201cThe Islamabad inspector general of police (IGP) has suspended the assistant sub-inspector (ASI) and three constables,\u201d the lawyer for the IGP told the court. \u201cThe junior officers were suspended but the senior officer wasn\u2019t,\u201d Justice Babar Sattar remarked.
