Muhammad Saeed Khan chowkidar also turned up there. The accused (Sarabjit
Singh) said that he was a Haveldar of the Police. I then allowed him to
go inside the Hall. After the termination of show the accused went away and
after sometime there was a blast near the PickUp of Haji Aslam in which he used
to sell medicines , In Februry 991 , the accused was brought by the police in
Cinema and I identified him as the person who had come to Malik Theater Cinema
with a Bag in his Hand He is the same person who is present in the Court.''
By the learned Defence Counsel appointed

do check the ticket and the bag before somebody goes inside the picture House.

the Cinema Hall at interval Time , I saw the accused outside the cinema
during interval time. During interval time i went to the office of Cinema
situated in the same permises. The distance between the place of occurence and
Malik Theater is 25/30 yards. I did not Know the accused before he came to the
picture house. It is correct that i did not meet the accused after the
explosion till such time he was brought by the Police and I identified
him. When the accused was brought to the cinema there were 3/4 police officials
with him. I was called outside by the Police and I identified him''
