Muhammad Jalil brother of Sahiwal's alleged encounter incident victim Khalil has approached the Lahore High Court for constitution of a judicial commission to probe into the incident. The petitioner contended that the facts of the incident have been distorted in the FIR lodged against the personnel of the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) to give margin to the real culprits to escape conviction.

He pleaded that since the high-ups of law enforcement agencies are involved in the killings, the JIT made by the government is not in a capacity to reach a just decision.
