US diplomat faces murder charges for mowing down man
ISLAMABAD: A case has been
registered under Section 320 of
Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) against a
US diplomat who ran down bikers on
Thursday night, Geo News reported.
“Under the said section, the American
diplomat faces charges of
unintentional murder, in this case
killing by reckless driving. It is defined
as any act or omission done by mistake
of fact or mistake of act which causes
the death of a human being without
any intention or knowledge”, an officer
at the Secretariat Police Station, where
the FIR was lodged, told Geo News.
The accident involved a US consular
vehicle, which rammed a motorbike
from behind on Margallah Road right
outside the Punjab House.
Eyewitnesses added, at the time of the
accident two men, one at the handle
bar and the other on the pillion, were
riding the motorcycle.
According to sources, the bikers
identified as Shozab Raza and
Muzammil Shah, were employees of
the Capital Development Authority
(CDA), were going home after a long
day at the Parliament Lodges where
they worked, when the accident took
place.
Muzammil Shah breathed his last in
the emergency room of Poly Clinic,
however Shozab Raza is said to be out
of danger. It is pertinent to mention
that following the roadside mishap the
US diplomat was also hospitalized for
reportedly feeling too sick to stay in
the stationhouse.
According to media reports the car
involved in the accident has been
impounded.
A large number of angry passers-by
surrounded the US embassy vehicle
after the accident but the police
brought the situation under control
well in time saving a most probable
international lynching.
Muzzamil Shah, who was an employee
of CDA for the last six years, is
survived by a window and a seven-
year-old daughter.
