ISLAMABAD: A district and sessions court in the federal capital issued non-bailable arrest warrant against former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Ali Amin Gandapur in arms and liquor recovery case on Tuesday.
The warrant was issued in light of Gandapur\“s continuous absence from the court hearings. Judicial Magistrate Mubashir Hassan ordered the police to arrest the former KP CM and produce him before the court.
The development pertains to a case registered against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf （PTI） leader at the Bara Kahu Police Station in the federal capital. The next hearing of the case will take place on October 28.
The arrest warrant adds to the legal woes of the firebrand PTI leader, who was recently ousted from KP\“s CM post, as the same court and magistrate issued his arrest warrant in the said case in the previous month as well.
The former ruling party, ever since May 9 riots in 2023, has been engulfed in legal woes and political challenges with its founder Imran Khan as well as senior leadership, including Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Yasmin Rashid and others, are behind bars over their alleged involvement in various incidents.
A day earlier, an anti-terrorism court （ATC） in Rawalpindi ordered police to arrest PTI founder\“s sister Aleema Khan and produce her before the court on October 22 in connection with cases related to the protest staged by the party on November 26 last year. |
