Since his ‘murder’, Bilal’s father had been desperately struggling to get an FIR registered against Caretaker CM Punjab and Punjab police officials including CCPO Lahore, but to no avail.
Quoting Insaf Lawyers’ Wing, Fawad Chaudhry alleged that the father of was ‘kidnapped’ after the funeral prayers of his son yesterday.
Taking to Twitter, he went on alleging that the father and family members of Ali Bilal were in police custody, and the same would happen what had been happening since always, a video would surface in which the family would be seen forgiving the Caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab Mohsin Naqvi and Police.
انصاف وکلاء ونگ کے مطابق علی بلال شہید کے والد کو کل جنازے کے بعد اغواء کر لیا گیا ہے اور وہ اور ان کے خاندان کے لوگ پولیس کی حراست میں ہیں، اب وہی ہو گا جو ہوتا ہے کہ پولیس کی حراست سے ایک ویڈیو آئیگی کہ ہم نے محسن نقوی اور پولیس کو معاف کیا، لیکن یہ ملک ان کو معاف نہیں کریگا
