Pakistan: Demonstrators block GT road in Peshawar after killing of college student
Students of a college in Pakistan's Peshawar recently demonstrated in the city demanding the arrest of robbers suspected to be involved in the murder of a fellow student.
The relatives of slain student Hassan Tariq also participated in the protest. Holding banners and placards, members of different student organisations took out the protest procession from the college and held demonstration for early arrest of the killers, reported Dawn News.
17-year-old Hassan Tariq, a student of Edwardes College, was recently shot dead by mobile snatchers on Mufti Mehmood Flyover.
Police told Dawn News that Tariq was going home in an auto-rickshaw after attending classes when two motorcyclists intercepted the three-wheeler and asked him to hand them over his mobile phone. They shot him dead on resistance.
The protesters blocked GT Road to traffic and chanted slogans against government and police, reported the Pakistani newspaper.
They said that FIR was registered by East police station but police refused to include sections 302, 324 and 392 in it and registered the case under Section 395.
The student, they said, was killed in the red zone where provincial assembly, Peshawar High Court, Corps Commander House, Governor’s House and other government offices were located.
They said that people were not secure even in the sensitive area.
They questioned the action of the police after they failed to get the CCTV footage of the incident.
The police, however, claimed they have recovered CCTV footage of the incident and an investigation is currently underway.
