Muzaffarabad: District Police Officer (DPO) Syed Husnain Haider suspended Station House Officer (SHO) City Chowk Sarwar Shaheed over a poor investigation into a teenager’s murder case on Wednesday.

According to police sources, a 13-year-old boy named Muhammad Saim was murdered near Jamia Asharfia Fakhria Madrisa in the premises of the City Chowk Sarwar Shaheed police station, and the police closed the case, citing the death caused by a fireworks blast.

The heirs staged a protest demonstration against the murder of the youngster and blocked the road.

Taking action on the incident, District Police Officer (DPO) Syed Husnain Haider ordered an inquiry into the incident.

In the initial interrogation, the uncle of the deceased boy, namely Naveed Ahmed, informed us that his nephew went to Jamia Asharafia Fakhria Madrisa and did not return home after almost an hour.

He said that accompanied by some of his friends, he went to search for the boy, and they found Maaz Jehanzaib, Fakhar-Ul-Mulk, and their three unidentified fellows brutally beating Muhammad Saim.

All of a sudden, the accused, Maaz Jehanzaib, shot at Saim’s face, and others were also tortured before they fled the scene.

The complainant informed police that, in the meantime, Qari Muhammad Yousaf, Jehanzaib Ashraf, and Ali Zaib destroyed the evidence from the crime scene.
