The Punjab police said on Sunday that they will challenge the Lahore court’s decision to discharge PTI leader Yasmin Rashid in the Jinnah House attack case, stressing “all conspirators, planners, and perpetrators” of the My 9 incident, including the former Punjab health minister, would be brought to justice.
The provincial police, in a statement shared on its official Twitter handle, said the investigation into the Jinnah House attack was being carried out on scientific lines.
“The court order is being challenged as the police were not given the opportunity to present forensic evidence in the case,” the police said.
It said the court order regarding Rashid’s case will attain finality after the order of the High Court, adding: “Police reserves its right to investigate the case and to bring the truth before the public.”
“Any premature assumption/inference at this stage is likely to be misleading,” the police advised.
The statement comes after PTI chief Imran Khan claimed Yasmin Rashid’s release from the prison meant the “PTI as a party had no hand in the arson” at the Lahore Corps Commander House on May 9.
