Students Protest at Islamabad University Campus as Man in Military Uniform Allegedly Opens Fire

by with No Comment Crime & Court

ISLAMABAD: An unsettling incident was reported at a university campus in Islamabad during a student protest, where a man dressed in military uniform allegedly opened fire into the air following a confrontation with protesting students.

According to students present at the scene, the protest began after an alleged dispute between their department head, Dr Jadoon Khan, and the university’s HR manager. The students said they had gathered to express solidarity with their teacher and demand justice over what they described as inappropriate treatment and threats against him.

The students alleged that the HR manager, a woman, behaved inappropriately toward Dr Khan, pushed him and threatened to have a false case registered against him. The students subsequently staged a protest on campus carrying placards and chanting slogans calling for “Justice for Sir.”

According to the protesters, the HR manager, who they said is the wife of an army officer, arrived at the protest site and became involved in a heated exchange with students. They alleged that she slapped some students before calling her husband to the campus.

The students further claimed that the officer arrived wearing his official military uniform and allegedly struck a student with a stick. The confrontation reportedly escalated after students reacted strongly, prompting the officer to allegedly draw his pistol and fire shots into the air.

Senior journalist Hamid Mir claimed that the Pakistan Army had taken immediate notice of the incident and that the officer had been taken into custody, with proceedings initiated against him. These claims could not independently be verified from official sources at the time of reporting.

An Islamabad Police officer also reportedly reached the campus and assured students that action would be taken against the officer.

Students at the campus maintained that their protest was aimed at opposing alleged threats and what they described as false cases against their teacher. They called for a transparent and impartial investigation into the incident and urged the authorities to determine responsibility for the confrontation and alleged firing.

The university administration, police and relevant military authorities have yet to publicly provide a detailed account of the incident.

ISLAMABAD: Islamabad Chief Commissioner has filed an application before the Supreme Court seeking an early hearing of a review petition against the apex court’s August 18 order concerning the transfer of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan from Adiala Jail to a hospital.

The application seeks an early hearing of the review petition filed against the Supreme Court’s August 18 order and requests the court to review, amend and withdraw the order.

The Chief Commissioner has also challenged the directives for shifting Imran Khan from Adiala Jail to a private hospital and for his medical examination and treatment by a medical panel.

PTI Politicising Imran Khan’s Health Despite Court Order: Atta Tarar

by with No Comment Politics

ISLAMABAD: Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar has rejected allegations surrounding the medical treatment of PTI founder Imran Khan, saying health-related matters should not be politicised and accusing the opposition party of spreading “false propaganda” over the issue.

Speaking on the matter, Tarar said that when the PML-N was in opposition, it had maintained that politics should not be brought into health issues, and that the government held the same position today.

“We believe that health matters should not be politicised,” Tarar said, adding that the issue was being turned into a political controversy through what he described as misleading propaganda.

The information minister said Imran Khan had previously made disparaging remarks about the health of other people, but the government did not adopt a disrespectful attitude when questions were raised about his own health.

According to Tarar, following a Supreme Court order concerning Imran Khan’s medical examination, the government complied with the court’s directions. He said Imran Khan was examined in the presence of his sister and doctors from Shifa International Hospital.

Tarar said the administration ensured implementation of the Supreme Court’s order and fulfilled all requirements specified by the court. He rejected what he called a baseless contempt-of-court petition filed by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), saying the government had presented the facts and acted in accordance with the judicial directions.

He also questioned the gathering of PTI supporters outside Shifa International Hospital, asking who had brought people there in groups despite the court’s direction that the matter should not be politicised.

Tarar accused Imran Khan’s family and PTI of themselves becoming involved in conduct that could amount to contempt of court. He questioned why, if the party genuinely wanted its founder to receive medical treatment, obstacles were allegedly created in the process.

The minister further alleged that political statements were made and that security arrangements were also disrupted during the episode.

“Who committed contempt of court is evident to everyone,” Tarar said.

He also urged PTI not to use bar councils for its political agenda, saying some lawyers had issued statements and declarations in support of the party’s position. He called on bar councils to remain separate from the controversy.

Tarar reiterated that Imran Khan’s medical examination was conducted at PIMS in accordance with the court’s directions and maintained that every provision of the judicial order had been followed.

The dispute comes amid continued political tensions over the health and medical treatment of the PTI founder, with both sides trading accusations over the handling of his healthcare and the implementation of court orders.

Police Solve Shamsu Bibi Murder Case, Arrest Five Including Father and Brother

by with No Comment Crime & Court

TAXILA: Police have claimed to have solved the murder case of social media personality Shamsu Bibi, also known as Ayesha Gulmana, arresting five suspects, including her father and brother, in connection with the killing.

Speaking at a press conference, SSP Operations Malik Tariq Mehboob said police traced the suspects with the help of more than 100 CCTV cameras and human intelligence.

According to the police officer, the suspects allegedly attempted to stage a drama after the murder in an effort to mislead investigators and evade the law. However, investigators identified inconsistencies in the case and, after examining available evidence, arrested all five suspects.

Preliminary investigations indicate that Shamsu Bibi was allegedly killed in the name of so-called honour. Police said family members were unhappy with her presence and activities on social media.

The SSP Operations said the murder case was initially registered on the complaint of the victim’s father, who had also nominated two suspects. Investigators later questioned the victim’s sister, who was injured in the incident, and concluded that members of the victim’s own family were allegedly involved in the killing.

Malik Tariq Mehboob said the complainant had allegedly confessed to the murder, describing it as unusual for a person involved in a crime to initially become the complainant in the same case. He said the victim’s father, who had initially approached police as the complainant, was now himself being treated as a suspect.

Police officials said further investigation is underway. Investigators are questioning the arrested suspects to determine the full circumstances surrounding the killing, establish the roles of each accused and uncover any additional motives or details related to the case.

Asad Qaiser Claims Maryam Nawaz Was Unhappy Over Court Order to Shift Imran Khan to Shifa International

by with No Comment Politics

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Asad Qaiser has claimed that they had received information that Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz was unhappy with the court decision to shift PTI founder Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital.

Asad Qaiser said they had some idea that the government would not accept the Supreme Court’s decision to transfer Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital. He alleged that there were doubts about the government’s intentions because it kept delaying the matter.

He said PTI would file a contempt of court petition in the Supreme Court tomorrow.

Asad Qaiser said they had already anticipated that the government would not easily implement the decision. He maintained that there was no ambiguity in the Supreme Court’s decision and that every aspect of it was clearly stated.

He said they wanted political tensions to come down, but the government had itself worsened the situation. According to Asad Qaiser, the government does not accept the law, Constitution, Parliament or even the courts.

He said they now had only one option: to come out on the streets and bring people out.

He further said the government was refusing to accept the court decision and was turning the country into a “banana republic.” He said they had wanted national unity in the current situation, but the government had affected it.

Speaking during a programme, Asad Qaiser said they had met the Speaker of the National Assembly, the federal law minister and other government representatives. He said they had given the government a positive signal, but the government had turned the situation into a spectacle.

According to Asad Qaiser, Mahmood Achakzai had told the government that he would give a guarantee that Imran Khan would not take revenge against anyone.

He said they wanted to move the country forward according to the requirements of the Constitution and the law.

PIC Imposes 30-Day Salary Penalty on Rawalpindi Cantonment Board Chief Engineer

by with No Comment Crime & Court

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Information Commission (PIC) has imposed a penalty equivalent to 30 days’ salary on Atiq Ur Rahman, Chief Engineer, Rawalpindi Cantonment Board, under Section 20(1)(f) of the Right of Access to Information Act, 2017.

The Commission issued the penalty after noting the continued failure to submit a written response to the rejoinder and show cause notice and the non-appearance of the Chief Engineer before the Commission.

Order of the Commission states that on July 7, 2026, no one appeared before the Commission to file a reply to the rejoinder. Consequently, a show cause notice was issued to Atiq Ur Rahman, directing him to submit a written reply to the notice as well as a response to the rejoinder.

On July 28, 2026, Atiq Ur Rahman appeared in person before the Commission. On his request, he was granted an opportunity to file both the reply to the rejoinder and the reply to the show cause notice.

However, on the subsequent date of hearing, the Commission noted that neither a written reply had been received nor had anyone appeared before it on behalf of the concerned official.

The Commission further noted that its office attempted to contact Atiq Ur Rahman on his official telephone number, but the call reportedly remained unanswered.

In its order, the Commission observed that the failure to submit a response to the show cause notice and the non-appearance before the Commission reflected an irresponsible attitude. It further held that the continued failure to respond demonstrated that there was no defence presented by the Chief Engineer and that sufficient grounds existed to proceed against him under Section 20(1)(f) of the Right of Access to Information Act, 2017.

The Commission concluded that the delay in submitting a reply to the rejoinder had been deliberate and had affected the timely disposal of the appeal. It therefore imposed a penalty equivalent to 30 days’ salary on Atiq Ur Rahman.

The Commission has directed the Director General, Military Land and Cantonment Department; the Accountant General, Pakistan Military Accounts Department; and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Rawalpindi Cantonment Board, to deduct the equivalent of 30 days’ salary from Atiq Ur Rahman’s salary. They have also been directed to submit a compliance report before the next date of hearing.

In addition, the CEO, Rawalpindi Cantonment Board, has been directed to submit a written reply to the rejoinder. The Commission warned that, in the absence of such a reply, the appeal would be decided in accordance with the law.
The matter has been adjourned until September 2, 2026, when the case is scheduled to be taken up again.

He said the government had never adopted an irresponsible policy regarding the PTI founder’s treatment. He maintained that the PTI founder was completely healthy and said there would be no negligence in his treatment.
