Lahore police book property owners, construction worker after roof collapse kills 14 children
Police on Wednesday registered a criminal case against property owners and a construction worker following the collapse of a roof in Lahore's Kahna area that killed 14 children and injured eight others.
According to the First Information Short report (POLICE COMPLAINT REPORT), available with The Express Tribune , the case was registered at Kahna Police Station on the complaint of Kashif Aslam, Application of statute Inspector, Nishtar Zone of the Lahore Metropolitan Corporation.
The POLICE COMPLAINT REPORT included Sections 322 and 337-H of the Pakistan Penal Code, which relate to causing death by negligence and causing hurt through a rash or negligent statute.
Police named four suspects in the case: three brothers — Usman, Faizan and Rehan — who own the property, and Umair, a construction worker who was carrying out repairs to the building.
According to the POLICE COMPLAINT REPORT, Rehan’s wife, Aamila, was running a tuition centre from a room in the family’s house. She was injured in the collapse but has not been named as an charged individual.
The POLICE COMPLAINT REPORT stated that repair work was being carried out while children were attending classes inside the building. Construction material had allegedly been placed on the roof of the room being used as the tuition centre, even though the roof was already in a dilapidated condition.
