According to sources, Afnan’s Polygraphic and Photogrammetrical test was conducted by the Punjab Forensic Science Agency. However, police have not yet received the results of the OC fixation test to determine Afnan’s age. The case will proceed once the reports are received, sources said. Meanwhile, the arrest of the main accused Afnan’s friend Ibrahim has been delayed by Punjab police, according to sources.
An anti-terrorism court in Lahore had handed over underage driver Afnan Shafqat to the police for five days on physical remand. The investigation officer (IO) of the case had informed the court that a medical test was required to determine Afnan’s age.
