In 1997, Jinnah Flyover was constructed to help ease the flow of traffic. In January 2011, Cavalry Ground entered into the national media spotlight over two major incidents. On 11 January 2011, the parents of Justice Javed Iqbal, a senior judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan (Malik Abdul Hameed and Zarina) were found murdered under what police called "mysterious circumstances" in their house near Cavalry Ground. Preliminary investigations suggested that both had suffocated to death in their bedroom.[2] In a separate incident almost 10 days later, it was reported that between 21 January and 27 January 2011, Raymond Davis (a detained CIA contractor) had reportedly used the residence at 59/A Cavalry Ground.[3]
