London police 'shut' inquiry in Qazi Faez Isa vehicle attack case

LONDON: The London police have closed the investigation into the alleged attack on former chief justice of Pakistan Justice (retired) Qazi Faez Isa’s vehicle, citing insufficient evidence to proceed, ARY News reported on Friday, citing sources.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) reportedly declined to take the case to court, stating that the available evidence would not be enough to secure a conviction.

Sources within both the High Commission and the City of London Police confirmed that the case has been closed due to a lack of sufficient evidence to meet the threshold for prosecution.
