Former cop Abid Boxer’s bail extended till Jan 17

LAHORE: A sessions court here on Friday extended interim bail of Abid Hussain alias Abid Boxer, a former inspector of Punjab police, in four cases related to land grabbing, fraud and kidnapping.

The court extended Boxer’s bail till Jan 17. The investigation officer submitted a report on progress so far made in a probe into the cases.

It is pertinent to mention here that Abid Boxer had been acquitted in five cases by a court.

Rejecting allegations levelled against him, the former cop had earlier accused former Punjab chief minister Shehbaz Sharif of using his clout to get frivolous cases registered against him.

Abid Boxer had joined the police department in 1988 as an assistant sub-inspector and was later promoted to the rank of inspector. He fled the country after the police lodged cases against him under murder, attempted murder, fraud and forgery charges.

The notorious encounter specialist was arrested in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and extradited to Pakistan through Interpol in February last year.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and police, however, had feigned ignorance about the whereabouts of the former cop when his father-in-law went to the Lahore High Court (LHC) expressing the apprehension that his son-in-law might be killed in an fake encounter.
