Despite continuous waiting, the meeting was not held on reaching Attock Jail.
Later, the DPO Attock registered a fake case of vandalism, threats to the police and tearing of uniform. Sher Afzal Marawat said that no such incident happened. They have also been acquitted of the case.
The court asked what do you want now? the lawyer said that the High Court’s order has not been implemented, contempt of court has been going on for two years. I want the then DPO Attock Ghiyas Gul to apologize to me or admit his mistake.
The court said that they should submit a written response to what they are offering, after which the hearing was adjourned for a month.
