The authority constituted General Court Martial, the highest court in Air Force law, to try its personnel responsible for the assault on Bangladeshi British national Barrister Rezwan at Zia International Airport on April 14.

An ISPR release yesterday said the military court headed by a Group Captain would award tough punishment to the guilty persons "on charge of irregularities and breaking discipline".

The ISPR said immediately after the airport incident, the Air Force arrested the persons responsible and handed them over to the custody of law-enforcers of the Air Force.

An inquiry committee headed by a Group Captain has already identified the persons involved in the incident of assault by joint-force personnel and framed charges as per military law.
