LAHORE:
An audio clip has emerged showing Ahsan Shah, the accused in the Balaj Tipu case, planning to murder a police officer.
According to Express News, before he was killed in a police operation, Ahsan Shah allegedly called a friend from prison and discussed plans to kill a policewoman.
In the recording, Ahsan Shah can be heard saying that he plans to leave the country within a month and intends to take action against the person who arrested him before he leaves.
In the audio recording, the woman asks who made the arrest and the accused replies that it was a friend of her father from Badami Bagh.
Police sources report that Ahsan Shah hired a gunman in prison to kill the police officer.
A few months ago, Balaj Tipu was assassinated during the wedding ceremony of the son of a retired DSP in Chung area.
During the investigation into the murder case, it emerged that Ahsan Shah, a close friend of the deceased, had provided information to the attackers and was involved in the investigation.
Ahsan was arrested by the police a few days after the incident.
Later, an altercation broke out when police took Ahsan from the jail to Shadbagh area to present evidence and his accomplices opened fire. Ahsan was killed by his accomplices in an ensuing gunfight.
Ameer Balaj, 34, was shot dead by a “gunman” who was also shot dead in the crossfire when the victim’s guards retaliated. Balaj’s younger brother Ameer Mussab had nominated Gogi Butt and Teefi Butt in the First Information Report (FIR).
