Last week, the car of a Japanese diplomat hit a motorcycle in Lahore. According to media reports, the motorist was injured as a Japanese diplomat’s car hit him near Jain Mandar area of the city. The injured citizen was shifted to the hospital for treatment.
Earlier in April, the vehicle of Colonel Joseph, a defence attach at the US embassy in Islamabad, ran a red light and rammed into a motorcycle in the federal capital, killing one man, Ateeq Baig, on the spot and injuring another.
The diplomat was let go by police after registration of a case.
On April 20, the government decided to not place the name of Colonel Joseph on the Exit Control List. The father of the deceased youth had moved the IHC to order placement of Colonel Joseph's name on the ECL. He had taken the stance that Colonel Joseph, while intoxicated, hit his son and he died on the spot.
The IHC referred the matter to the Interior Ministry but eventually, the US diplomat was allowed to leave the country in a US army plane.
