Gilani’s son Syed Abdul Qadir Gilani Charged with Murder in Lahore

A case has been registered against Syed Abdul Qadir Gilani, son of former prime minister "Yousaf Raza Gilani", and his guards after they allegedly killed a student on Wednesday night in Lahore.

The victim "Tahir Malik", and his brother "Waheed", were going to a relative’s house on their bike to distribute sacrificial (eid-ul-azha) meat, when they came across Qadir Gilani’s motorcade near "Bedian Road".

Waheed told the police that the guards shouted at them, forcing them to stay away from the motorcade. However, they again came across the motorcade near the "DHA’s E-Block" where the guards again started shouting at them.

Tahir also shouted on the guards and tried to cross the motorcade when the guards opened fire at them. "Tahir" killed on the spot while his brother "Waheed" who was also sitting with him got injured.

The case was registered in Defence Police Station on the intervention of Punjab Chief Minister "Mian Shahbaz Sharif", after the relatives and residents of the area protested outside the residence of "Yousaf Raza Gilani" in Lahore.

Police said that no weapon was found from the deceased while "Abdul Qadir Gilani" told police that he had been receiving threats from unknown person for the past several days. The FIR was lodged in "Defence A". "SHO Defence A" told "The Express Tribune" that no application has been filed by the Gilani family about any threat.

Officials further informed that Gilani family has handed over the guard "Muhammad Khan" whose age is 35 to the police, who shifted him to an unknown location for interrogation.

A 222 rifle weapon has also been handed over to the police which was used in the crime.

DIG Operations "Dr Haider Ashraf" told "The Express Tribune" that "SP CIA Umer Virk" has been assigned the task to locate former prime minister’s son, by tracking his mobile phone.
