London (News International New - 06 December 2024) London Police has closed the investigation into the attack on former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa. London Police has decided not to take action against anyone on the complaint filed by the Pakistani High Commission alleging that PTI attacked Qazi Faez Isa and the High Commission’s diplomatic vehicle outside the Middle Temple. According to media reports, the Crown Prosecution Service has declined to take the case prepared by the police to court.
According to London Police, Qazi Faez Isa was not a plaintiff in the case. Despite the completion of the investigation, the police have decided to put the people involved in the incident on the watch list. A police source said that the incident does not meet the requirements of evidence necessary to bring charges against anyone, so the complaint has been closed.
The City of London Police found insufficient evidence against 28 PTI workers named in the incident.
It may be recalled that PTI workers protested on the occasion of the ceremony to make former Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa a bencher of the Middle Temple. PTI leaders Maleeka Bukhari, Zulfi Bukhari, Azhar Mashwani and others addressed the protesters. It was reported that while leaving the ceremony, PTI workers attacked his vehicle and threw punches.
Later, after the attack on the diplomatic vehicle of former Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa at the Middle Temple, the Pakistani High Commission had filed a complaint with the police. The Pakistani Foreign Office had directed the High Commission to review the video of the incident and take action against those involved. The Pakistan High Commission had provided all available evidence regarding the incident to the police, but the police said that no one could be charged as no one was injured or harmed in the incident.
A note verbale was sent to the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) seeking the assistance of the diplomatic police. A copy of it was sent to the Foreign Office as well as the British High Commission. A few days ago, about four police officers went to the High Commission to ask further questions, where they were given a full briefing. The Pakistani government had cancelled the passports of 23 people allegedly involved in the incident and put their names on the Passport Control List.
