Anti-terrorism court orders charge sheet submission in Radio Pakistan attack case
An anti-terrorism court in Peshawar directed the investigating officer to submit a charge sheet on Monday regarding the May 9, 2023, attack on Radio Pakistan.
Court rejects request for delay
The investigating officer asked for more time to finalize the document after submitting a progress report. Judge Wali Mohammad denied this request and ordered the submission of the charge sheet immediately. Defence counsel Ali Zaman appeared for the accused but sought a later date due to other engagements.
Named individuals remain under review
Police previously nominated several officials and activists as accused based on forensic evidence and video footage. The investigating officer informed the court that former provincial minister Taimur Saleem Jhagra has not yet joined the investigation. The defence team disputes the identification of some individuals linked to the incident.
