Counsel of detained officers submits application saying the two men are innocent.
The detained policemen in the Benazir Bhutto assassination case, former City Police Officer (CPO) ?Rawalpindi Saud Aziz and Superintendent Police (SP) Khurram Shahzad, have filed a bail application in the Rawalpindi Anti Terrorism Court that has been hearing the case.
The counsel of the detained police officers took the stance in the application that the?two men?are innocent. He argued that the Joint Interrogation Team of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has found no direct evidence against them.
Saud Aziz and Khurram Shahzad are on a judicial remand after the FIA’s request for an extension in the physical remand was rejected last week.
The?FIA has been?ordered to present them before the court on January 7, when the bail application will also be heard.
Earlier, the legal counsel for former CPO, Waheed Anjum had claimed while addressing a press conference in Rawalpindi that his client was being victimised by his portrayal as the killer of Benazir Bhutto as the allegations against him were yet to be proven. He had said that the allegations levelled against the former CPO were baseless and that both the accused were public servants and did not have links with any political factions.
