LAHORE: The tragic death of a minor girl in a police shootout in Chakwal has been widely covered in the Australian media, as the Crime Control Department (CCD) chief termed the incident a “deviation from the established” standard operating procedures.The incident was covered by ABC, The Guardian, and SBS news outlets, which highlighted that the Perth-based family was on holiday in Pakistan when they were caught in the police crossfire in Chakwal. On June 10, a nine-year-old girl was killed and her father and brother were injured aft­er the police opened fire at their car in Chakwal, mistaking them for robbers.全員がオーストラリア国籍でした。 アディル・アハマドさんは妻のシドラ・カーンさん、10歳の息子アカン・アハマドさん、娘のハニアさんとともにメッカからパキスタンに到着した。彼は捜査官に対し、6月10日午後9時にチャクワルにある義理の両親の住居で行われる家族の行事に出席する予定だと語った。車がCCDのオフィスの外に差し掛かったとき、武装した男2人が車に銃を突きつけ、妻から貴重品を奪った。 突然、激しい銃声が聞こえ、車に避難していた強盗容疑者らが発砲に応じた。 Mr Ahmad said that he rushed the car to get out of the range of the firing, but many bullets pierced into the body of the vehicle, injuring him, his daughter and son.妻は無事だったが、娘は後に致命傷を負った。 CCD長官は銃撃戦を「SOPからの逸脱」と呼ぶ。プローブオン “The conduct of the officer involved has represented a grave deviation from our established Standard Opera­ting Procedures (SOPs) and the legal standards governing the use of force,” Sohail Zafar Chatha, Punjab CCD Addi­tional IG, told Dawn. 同氏は捜査結果を引用し、進行中の武装強盗中にCCD職員が介入したと述べた。武装強盗が家族の車を妨害し、乗員に銃を突きつけた。その後の衝突では、容疑者らが対応した警官に向けて発砲した後、銃撃戦が発生した。 “In the ensuing chaos, the officer involved mistakenly assessed that the suspects were attempting to flee in the victims’ vehicle and discharged his weapon,” the CCD chief confessed to the gross negligence. AIGチャタは、警察官の武器や使用済みの薬莢などの法医学証拠は確保され処理されていると述べた。 “While our personnel operate in high-risk environments, there is no justification for a departure from our protocols. We are conducting a thorough, impartial investigation to ensure that justice is served,” he said. 2026 年 6 月 15 日の夜明けに掲載
