  • Testimony from Inspectors Ismat Kamal and Tahzeeb-ul-Hassan and DSP Akbar Abbas was recorded, bringing the total to 44 prosecution witnesses.
  • The court summoned DSP Mirza Javed, Inspector Nazim Shah, and Inspector Yaqoob Shah to appear on Sept. 30.
  • A notice was issued to the prosecution on a defence application seeking re-examination of eight earlier witnesses.
