LAHORE (DAWN.COM) -- Deputy Prosecutor General of Pakistan’s Punjab province, Rana Bakhtiar said on Sunday that Raymond Davis had fired the bullets from the back thus it was not a case of ‘self defense’ as he had stated earlier.

Rana also said that Davis, charged with murder of two motorcyclists in Lahore, did not hold any special privileges as a diplomat.
Referring to Article 49-2 of the Vienna Convention, he said that diplomatic officials only hold privilege when they are on duty, but Davis was in Pakistan on a business visa.
Davis is being described by the American media as a security contractor from a Florida-based firm, Hyperion Protective Consultants, LLC.
That Foreign Office and the U.S. embassy were not on the same page on the issue of status of the accused was obvious from an FO press release that mentioned Davis as a U.S. ‘functionary’, and not a diplomat.
Meanwhile Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani Sunday declined to comment on the arrest of a U.S. man who shot dead two men in Lahore, saying the matter was being probed by courts and regional authorities.
The US embassy has claimed diplomatic immunity on behalf of Davis, previously described as a consulate employee, who is under investigation on double murder charges after shooting dead two motorcyclists on Thursday.
