However, prosecution officials returned the challan after raising objections, stating that the investigation conducted by police was insufficient. They directed investigators to include the inquiry commission report in the case record and also demanded CCTV footage from buildings surrounding Gul Plaza.
Sources further said that police did not adequately identify eyewitnesses from the area near the affected flower shop, raising questions over the completeness of the investigation.
Officials confirmed that police had submitted a four-page challan along with hundreds of supporting documents, but prosecutors insisted that key evidence was still missing before the case could proceed further.
