ISLAMABAD , March 22, 2023: The coalition government has decided to constitute a high-powered joint investigation team (JIT) to probe the attack on the judicial complex and law enforcement agencies by PTI supporters during the appearance of Imran Khan in a court regarding Toshakhana case.
Sources said the Shehbaz-led led coalition government had decided to form a JIT to investigate the violent attacks by armed groups on police and courts and take legal action against the PTI, its leadership and workers for challenging the writ of the state.
Islamabad police had registered a first information report (FIR) against PTI Chairman Imran Khan and other party leaders on March 18 for their alleged involvement in attacking cops, setting ablaze vehicles and destroying property.
Sources further said senior officers of the interior ministry, police and intelligence agencies would be part of the JIT to probe the attack and injuries inflicted on the police at the Federal Judicial Complex.
The JIT will gather facts about the petrol bomb attacks as well as the participation of militants of proscribed organisations in the attack on the judicial complex.
It will also investigate who fired teargas shells on the police and who provided them with those. The JIT will also determine those responsible for inciting the public against the state institutions.
The JIT would be submitting its report within seven days, sources said, and added that the government would take legal action against the culprits in the light of the report.
