A senior official from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has been arrested by the Peshawar police for shooting and injuring a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) security guard. The incident took place when the official forcefully entered the restricted BRT route.
According to the latest report, Arbab Faisal, a senior joint director at CAA currently stationed in Islamabad, was seen driving his Black Mercedes Benz E-Class on the BRT route.
BRT guards tried to stop him, but the CAA official fired shots, injuring a security guard. Faisal managed to escape initially but was later caught in the Regi area on the outskirts of Peshawar.
A case has been registered against him under section 324 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) at the East police station. During the initial investigation, it was discovered that the accused had been receiving treatment for psychological issues, as stated by SP Cantonment Waqas Rafiq.
The CAA official appeared before judicial magistrate Dolat Khan’s court on Wednesday. Initially, the court was to issue a physical remand but decided to place him in judicial custody for 14 days in the central prison.
The court was informed that the accused had been driving illegally on the BRT route and allegedly opened fire when his vehicle was intercepted by a guard.

“”During the initial investigation, it was discovered that the accused had been receiving treatment for psychological issues, as stated by SP Cantonment Waqas Rafiq.””
and the stage is set for legal bailout. If he has psychological issues, than how come he became senior director of “Aviation” authority of Pakistan.
Regarding the individual serving as a Joint Director CAA, there is a concern about his suitability due to psychological unfitness.
Additionally, it is recommended that his vehicle be impounded and thoroughly inspected for all necessary documents.
If it is confirmed that he is psychologically unfit or undergoing treatment, his driving license should be revoked.
Furthermore, it is crucial to inspect the license for the weapon he is carrying to ensure proper authorization.
Beautifully summed up.

If a person has phycological issues and has the ability to take out a gun and shoot people on slightest disapproval with any person, does this person deserve to roam the streets or does he deserve to be locked up behind bars?
