UK police closes Shahzad Akbar acid attack case


Shahzad akbar acid attack case

LONDON: UK police has decided to close investigations into the acid attack on former federal minister Shahzad Akbar due to lack of substantial evidence.  

In November 2023, Akbar, who was also adviser to former PM Imran Khan, claimed that an unidentified man threw acid on his face at his home in the UK and he sustained injuries on one side of his face and body. 

According to local police, they are no longer investigating the acid attack on Shahzad Akbar as they have not been able to identify any suspects despite exploring all lines of enquiry.

Last week, Akbar said that he was taking legal action against the Government of Pakistan over the acid attack. He has served a copy of his legal action to the Pakistan High Commission in London. It names several Pakistani government officials as responsible for the attack. He claimed in the letter the Government of Pakistan was behind the attack.

When asked to comment on the closure of the inquiry by the UK police without any suspects found, Akbar said: “I have already made it public who is responsible for the attack on me, perpetrated at the best of Pakistani government. The criminal inquiry may be closed but I have recourse to civil course of action which I have already started.”
