A week after Judges’ Complaints, Intimidation Continues
In a concerning turn of events, all eight judges of the Islamabad High Court, including Chief Justice Aamer Farooq, received suspicious letters in the mail on Tuesday. The letters, sent by a woman named Resham, wife of Waqar Hussain, contained an unidentified powder.
Staff members opening the envelopes for two judges discovered the mysterious substance inside, prompting immediate action. The content of the letters also featured a ‘threatening’ symbol, details of which have not yet been disclosed.
Authorities on High Alert
Upon receiving the letters, Islamabad’s Inspector General (IG) and Deputy Inspector General (DIG) were swiftly summoned to the court. Additionally, an expert team from the police has been called in to examine the powder found in the envelopes.
Background of Intimidation
This incident follows closely on the heels of a letter penned by six judges from the same court, addressed to the Supreme Court. The earlier letter detailed various instances of intimidation and interference purportedly by intelligence agencies.
Investigation Ongoing
As investigations continue into this alarming development, the judiciary remains on high alert. No definitive conclusions have been reached regarding the nature of the substance or the intentions behind the letters.
The Islamabad High Court, a pillar of Pakistan’s legal system, stands firm in the face of these attempts to sow fear and disruption among its members. Further updates on this developing story are anticipated as the investigation progresses.
