Swat, OCT 11: Family members of a van driver, who was killed in the recent attack on a school bus in Swat’s Charbagh tehsil, ended their 40-hour sit-in on Tuesday after successful negotiations with the administration.

The protestors had been demanding the arrest of the culprits behind the attack and warned of marching to Islamabad if authorities failed to meet their demands within 24 hours. Earlier today, Swat Deputy Commissioner (DC) Junaid Khan reached the protest site with other officials and held talks with the demonstrators.

“The deputy commissioner has promised a shuhada package for the heirs of the driver. He also said that the security of Swat will be beefed up and arrangements will be made to avoid such terror activities in the future.”

Ali added that the investigation of the attack will be shared with a five-member committee formed by the protesters.

After this, the protesters offered final prayers of the deceased.
