Quetta: A police surgeon who had conducted autopsies on the bodies of foreigners who were shot dead in the Kharotabad areawas killed in Quetta on Thursday.
Police Surgeon Dr Baqir Shah was killed on Sabzal Road when unidentified gunmen opened fire on him. He passed away before reaching the hospital.
Dr Shah had also come under attack on the day he had recorded his statement with the Kharotabad tribunal. He was attacked by up to 10 people when he was on a visit to a restaurant and had to be rushed to the civil hospital due to the severity of his wounds.
In his testimony to the tribunal, Dr Shah had confirmed that all the victims had died of gunshot wounds from police and FC weapons fired from a distance of 50 60 feet, instead of a hand grenade as claimed by the police. This was one of the incriminating evidences pointing towards gross negligence of the police and FC personnel.
The victims, a five-member party of men and women of Russian and Tajik nationalities, were unarmed. An inquiry report presented to the parliamentary committee on the killings also said that none of the victims had fired a shot, and that FC personnel injured in the incident had been struck by bullets fired by other FC personnel and police.
