QUETTA: The police have registered another case against Balochistan MPA Abdul Majeed Achakzai after his official vehicle was found to have been illegal.

Reports on Wednesday stated that the Civil Lines police registered a case against the Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party MPA after forensic examination of his vehicle which ran over a traffic police official on June 20 showed that it was unregistered. Reports further stated that the engine and chassis number of the land cruiser had also been tampered with.

It thus emerged that the MPA had illegally converted an unregistered vehicle into his official vehicle.

Moreover, on Saturday, an Anti-Terrorism Court rejected the bail plea of the MPA and extended his judicial remand for three days.

Achakzai is presently in jail on judicial remand after being arrested for the attempted killing of traffic policeman Haji Attaulla.

Attaulla succumbed to injuries on June 20 after Achakzai allegedly ran him over while he was performing his duty near Quetta's GPO Chowk.

Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar on June 28 took suo motu notice of the incident and summoned a detailed report from the Balochistan police.

Since his arrest, at least one more case was registered against the MPA related to a kidnapping case several years ago.
