1. پولیس مقابلہ: ملزمان نے پولیس پارٹی پر فائرنگ کی تھی، لیکن کوئی پولیس اہلکار زخمی نہ ہوا اور نہ ہی پولیس کی گاڑی کو کوئی گولی لگی، جو مقابلے کی حقیقت پر سوال اٹھاتا ہے۔


2. اسلحہ کی برآمدگی: ملزمان سے اسلحہ برآمد کیا گیا، لیکن کیس پراپرٹی کو فورینسک سائنس لیبارٹری بھیجنے میں پولیس کے عمل میں سقم پایا گیا، جس سے شواہد کی سالمیت پر سوال اٹھا۔


3. چین آف کسٹڈی: کیس پراپرٹی کو فورینسک لیبارٹری تک پہنچانے میں کوئی پولیس اہلکار گواہ نہ تھا، جس سے چین آف کسٹڈی کے بارے میں خدشات پیدا ہوئے۔


4. عدالت کا فیصلہ: ان سقموں کی بنیاد پر ہائی کورٹ نے ٹرائل کورٹ کی سزا کو کالعدم قرار دیتے ہوئے ملزمان کو بری کر دیا۔
