A widow on Thursday sought to invoke the Supreme Court's jurisdiction against the purported extrajudicial killing of her two sons allegedly by the Punjab police.

She cited the SHO, DSP of Police Station Saddar Bairooni Rawalpindi, CPO Rawalpindi and Inspector General of Police Punjab as respondents.
