ISLAMABAD: A judicial magistrate in Islamabad on Sunday approved a three-day physical remand of five officials of the Counter-Terrorism DepartĀment (CTD) on the charge of extra-judicial murder of a youth in the federal capital a day earlier.
Usama Nadeem, 21, was killed late Friday night after police opened fire at his vehicle for not stopping despite repeated signals and a long car pursuit. The shots, police said, were instead received by Nadeem who died on the spot.
The accused were arrested on Saturday following a public outcry and a judicial inquiry was ordered by Islamabad commissioner Amer Ahmed Ali to ascertain the facts.

The suspects were presented in the court of Judicial Magistrate Naveed Khan Sunday. During the hearing, the policeĀ sought a five-day remand but the court approved only a three-day period.
In the first information report (FIR), lodged on the complaint of the victim’s father, Nadeem Satti, it was claimed the youth was killed after “proper planning” which was an act of terrorism.
Satti said his son had a quarrel with officials of Islamabad police a day earlier following which they had threaĀtened him with dire consequences.
On January 2, at aroĀund 2:00 am, Nadeem had gone to drop his friend in H-11. When he was returning, the police officials intercepted his car, the FIR said, adding that they then fired at him from all sides, which resulted in his death.
The case was registered under section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997, and sections 302, 148, and 149 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).
According to officials at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), where the body was brought, Nadeem was brought dead by police officials at about 2:37 am.
During the autopsy, the body was found having 11 wounds, including six bullet injuries, the deceased’s relatives said.
After the postmortem, the body was handed over to the family who first took it to their home in G-13/2 and later reached Srinagar Highway where the body was placed on the road and staged a protest against the police.
