ISLAMABAD: Sector Commander Islamabad said on Friday that he had prepared a strategy to arrest the perpetrator, Sikandar, behind the Islamabad standoff without even firing a single bullet but Zamrud Khan foiled the plan.
After watching the news, he ordered the wing commander to prepare two of their best snipers and two reaction forces to handle the situation if things get worse.
The statement further revealed that DC Islamabad arranged a house in G-6 for dialogues with the perpetrator and SSP Operations Dr Rizwan convinced Sikandar’s wife Kanwal to meet at the arranged venue for negotiation.
Even though Sikandar had said that he would bring his arms with him, it was planned that after reaching the venue he would be unarmed and arrested.
But just as the sector commander, SSP Rizwan and DC Islamabad left in a car to get to the venue, where they were to be followed by Sikandar and family, they heard gunshots and saw a crowd near Islamabad Jinnah Avenue.
Eventually, they were informed that PPP leader Zamrud Khan attempted to grab Sikandar which resulted in exchange of fire from both sides and injured Sikandar in the process.
Jadoon also said in his statement that even though Islamabad Police is skillful they failed in taking some decisive decisions at the spur of the moment which made the situation worse. (Tribune) (GNN)
