A shocking incident unfolded in Rawalpindi when Afghan terrorists attempted to free Wali Jan, a notorious crime figure, from police custody during a court appearance. The attackers, allegedly numbering over 26, clashed with police officers, resulting in injuries to several personnel, including journalists. Iftikhar Khattak, a journalist, was among those who suffered injuries during the altercation.
The incident has raised serious concerns about the security situation in the city, particularly given the sensitive location of the court. The court is situated near key government installations, including the offices of the Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, and the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), as well as an army house. The proximity of these installations to the scene of the incident has sparked questions about the effectiveness of security measures in place.
The public is outraged, wondering how such a brazen attack could occur in a supposedly secure area. Many are demanding answers about the safety and security measures in place, questioning whether the law enforcement agencies are equipped to handle such situations. The incident has also raised concerns about the presence of Afghan nationals involved in criminal activities in the country.
A case has been registered against the 26 Afghan attackers, including Wali Jan’s brothers, and an investigation is underway to apprehend the suspects who managed to escape during the chaos. The authorities are working to identify the perpetrators and determine the extent of their involvement in the incident.
The incident has sparked a wider debate about the security situation in the city and the ability of law enforcement agencies to maintain law and order. The public is demanding action to prevent such incidents in the future and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice. The incident has also highlighted the need for a review of security protocols in sensitive areas to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
The authorities are under pressure to take concrete steps to address the security concerns and restore public confidence in their ability to maintain law and order. The incident serves as a wake-up call for the authorities to reassess their security measures and take proactive steps to prevent such incidents in the future.
