ATC sends accused inspector on 4-day remand

Inspector Warraich had shot the Bar President and a lawyer on the 25th of May while on duty. The incident was a result of an argument between the Bar President and the SHO after lawyers had beaten up TMA employees over a minor disagreement. Following the clash, police was called in to control the situation which in turn led to an argument between the Bar President and Shehzad Warraich – ending in a double murder.
