LAHORE: An unknown sniper’s shot was reportedly fired at the office of Punjab Information and Technology Board (PITB) Chairperson Umar Saif on Sunday morning.


No one was hurt in the incident as it was an off-day.


The bullet pierced through the windowpane of LinkdIn office, which is adjacent to PITB chief’s office, then passed through the glass-wall of Saif’s office and hit closer to his chair.

An official of PITB said there was no high-rise building nearby the office. Terming it a threatening message, he said it was not a coincidence that the bullet hit the Saif’s office in a 17-story building that had hundreds of other offices.

Saif already had received threats a number of times, he added.


PITB has been playing an important role in digitalisation of police department, land records and other departments of the Punjab government.


The information technology (IT) initiatives have targeted criminals, terrorists and also hampered interests of different departments, the official added.


“It could be any one. We have informed law enforcement agencies that were investigating the matter and further investigations would ascertain the facts”, he maintained.


Last month, a suicide blast also had occurred few metres away the building. The blast had claimed at least 26 lives. Windowpanes of PITB building were also cracked in the incident.

Re: PITB chairman’s office fired at by sniper in Lahore

this department is doing good things for punjab. and pti should have such efficient department in KPK too but bitter truth is PTI government in kpk is not doing as good as it was expected. no one knows if how much land record has been computerized in kpk. as in punjab majority of the districts now not only have computerized land record but also computerized land record offices called Aarazi center which are working in a good way. last time when i went to pak i had to go to one such office and in punjab and i must say i was impressed by the new system.

i personally appreciate 2 departments from punjab 1. punjab IT board 2, punjab technical education department PTI should have established them both even in better and more efficient way than punjab but-------

Allah janat dee meri walda ko wo kaha karti thin jahan se zyada ommed lagao wahan per utni he disappointment nikalti hai abb PTI ko dekhta hon tu aksar ammi ji ki baat zehan main a jati hai

Umer Saif (PITB Chairman) was targeted by snipers

Umar Saif is a gem for Pakistan and this is really scary. After the bomb blast near Arfa Tower, this is probably the second attempt on him. It was done by a really professional hitman as the shot was taken on 17th floor. May Allah protect him.
