Earlier on November 16, at the request of the federal police, a seven-member Joint Investigation Team (JIT) was formed to investigate the assassination of SP Tahir Khan Dawar.
SP Investigation was to head the JIT, whereas, each member from Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Military Intelligence (MI) was included in the team.
Moreover, SP Islamabad, SDPO Shalimar and DSP CID were also made part of the JIT. The sections of murder and terrorism were added on Friday in the case filed against the kidnapping and murder of the SP KP Tahir Dawar.
The case was registered in Ramna police station on October 28.
Earlier on Thursday (November 15), Prime Minister Imran Khan ordered an inquiry into the death of the senior police officer who disappeared from Islamabad last month.
PM Khan said he had ordered authorities to carry out “an inquiry immediately”.
Islamabad said it had twice summoned the Afghan Charge d’Affaires to “seek clarity”.
“His abduction, move to (Afghanistan), murder and follow up behaviour of (Afghan) authorities raise questions which indicate involvement or resources more than a terrorist organization,” military spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor said on Twitter.
Moments after the body of SP Tahir Khan Dawar was handed over to Pakistani authorities at a border crossing, Pak Army’s spokesperson DG ISPR Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor said the abduction and brutal murder of a senior Pakistani police officer in Afghanistan and the follow-up behaviour of Afghan authorities indicate the involvement of more than a terrorist organisation.
“[The] brutal murder of SP Tahir in Afghanistan is highly condemnable. We have lost a brave police officer,” Major General Asif Ghafoor wrote on his official Twitter handle.
The funeral prayers for martyred Superintendent Police (SP) Tahir Dawar were offered at Police Lines in Peshawar, with the senior civilian, military and police officials in presence.
The funeral prayers were attended by KP Governor Shah Farman, Chief Minister Mehmood Khan, Corps Commander Lt Gen Shaheen Mazhar, State Minister for Interior Shehryar Afridi and Chief Secretary Naveed Kamran Baloch.
IG KP Salahuddin Mehsud, Shahram Tarakai and KP government spokesman Ajmal Wazir, relatives of the martyred police officer and a large number of other people.
