Rawalpindi, Mar 27(ANI): An Anti-Terrorist Court (ATC) judge in Pakistan, who has been hearing two high profile cases- the Benazir Bhutto assassination case and the 2008 Mumbai terror attack case- has complained against the withdrawal of his security.
ATC special Judge Rana Nisar Ahmed complained in a letter written to the Punjab Home Department that his security was removed with giving any reasons, the Dawn reports.
Nisar said in the letter that he had to go to the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi for hearing the Benazir Bhutto murder case and the Mumbai attack case without any security.
The local police would be held responsible if anything happens to him, he added.
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir was targeted in a gun and bomb attack as she was leaving Liaqat Bagh in Rawalpindi after addressing a public rally on December 27, 2007.
In the tragic Mumbai terror strike, ten gunmen from Pakistan had arrived in Mumbai via sea route on November 26, 2008 and started firing indiscriminately at a busy railway station, a Jewish settlement, a popular café and two luxury hotels.
Several innocents were held hostage over the next three days and at least 166 people were killed before Indian commandos smoked out the terrorists on November 28, 2008. (ANI)
