Another case surfaces as Islamabad Police likes delaying FIRs
ISLAMABAD: It seems that it has become a tradition with the Islamabad Police to delay the registration of FIRs. A fresh example of FIR delays has been witnessed, with cops registering the FIR against a robber two weeks after the submission of an application.
According to details, FIR No 143 has been lodged in Shahzad Town Police Station in which the application stated that her wife and mother in law were robbed in broad day light in Margalla Town when two men on a motorbike deprived them of their cash, jewelry and mobile phone on gun point and escaped safely.
However, the date of the incident in the FIR has been mentioned as March 6 while the FIR was registered on March 21.
When contacted, Ahmad, the complainant, told The Spokesman that the incident happened to his wife and mother-in-law, when they were returning home after visiting a relative in Margalla Town. Unfortunately neither the registration number of the bike was noted nor the robbers identified by the victims as they were harassed by the incident.
“On March 5, I approached to Shahzad Town police station and submitted an application of the incident but the FIR was not registered instantly” said the Ahmad. He said the police satisfied him by saying that they will take action on his application and soon the accused will be arrested, but after two weeks of his application, the police again called him to the police station for submitting another application for the FIR.
“After two weeks of the incident on when I was nearly hapless for any progress regarding the arrest of the accused, the police again called me 20th March and demanded to sign on another application for
the FIR.
The application was having the same text as mine except addition of a sentence in which they mentioned that I am submitting this application today as previously I was inquiring the incident in my community at my own” said Ahmad. He further added that in this vulnerable situation he duly signed the application as according to him there was no any other way to get justice or to see the accused
under arrest.
On the other hand, Assistant Sub Inspector Muhammad Hanif, the investigation officer of the case when contacted stated that the police lodged the FIR soon after the application submitted. “The applicant before submitting the application he was probing the incident in his local community as he had some doubt on his neighbors and relatives but after failing to get any clue, he approached to police station”, said ASI Muhammad Hanif.
