Four Dolphin Force personnel booked for killing Lahore man

A murder case has been registered against four personnel of the Dolphin Force for killing a man in Lahore on Tuesday, the police said.

The man, Jahangir, was killed in what the Dolphin Force said
was an “encounter” in Lahore’s Liaquatabad area.

The law enforcers said they reached the spot after receiving
a distress call from a woman. She claimed that four unidentified men had
abducted her and intended to rape her.

The personnel rushed to the site where one of the suspects
was killed in an exchange of fire while three others fled the scene, according
to a Dolphin Force spokesperson.

All the four personnel have been suspended and restricted to
the Dolphin Force headquarters until an inquiry against them is completed.

The police have registered a murder case against them, Model
Town SP Dost Mohammad Khosa told SAMAA TV. Initial investigation suggests the
personnel fired shots in their defence, he said.

But relatives of the deceased said he was alone at the time
of the incident. They said the police claim that he was accompanied by three
others was fabricated.

The police have recorded statements of the accused Dolphin
Force personnel. They have sent bullet casings found at the site for forensic
analysis.
