The protesters accused the forces of damaging nearly hundred vehicles in the evening on Thursday and damaging public property.

 Locals said that CRPF went on berserk after protesters attacked their installation on late evening on Thursday with stones and rocks against Abu Qasim’s killing.   

 “All those vehicles damaged by the forces have been put in front of DC office as a mark of protest. They can’t retaliate like this and punish the whole population if some people have attacked their installation,” said one of the protesters.

Meanwhile, the twin districts have witnessed complete shutdown against the killing of top Lashker militant. All the shops and business establishments are closed and the traffic is completely off the roads. However, there is complete normalcy in main town Islamabad.
