    A five-member Joint Investigation Team (JIT) tasked with conducting probe into the June Model Town incident in Lahore is going to kick off its working, as chief of Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT), Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri, has rejected the inquiry.

    According to a notification, CCPO Quetta, Abdul Razzaq Cheema will lead the investigation team that has been authorized to interrogate some bigwigs as well. The other team members include Col. Ahmed (ISI), Muhammad Ali (IB), AIG Shahzad Akber and DSP CID Khalid Abu Bakar. On the other hand, Dr. Qadri has refused the JIT, claiming that head of the team has allegiance with Nawaz Sharif. The Model Town tragedy had left 12 workers of PAT dead and many others injured in deadly clashes with police on June 17, 2017 in Lahore.
