The FIR invokes Section 34 (Acts done by several persons In furtherance of common intention), Section 121 (Waging or attempting to wage war or abetting waging of war against Pakistan), Section 124-A (Sedition), Section 153-A (Promoting enmity between different groups, etc), Section 505 (Statements conducing to public mischief). Meanwhile, a Lahore Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Monday sent PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s nephew Hassaan Niazi to jail on a 14-day judicial remand in the Zille Shah murder case and also approved his two-day transit remand to transfer him to Karachi in another case.
During the hearing, the investigation officer requested the judge to grant a physical remand, saying that a photogrammetric test had to be carried out apart from the recovery of Niazi’s laptop and mobile phone. “The attack and commotion took place at the behest of Niazi,” the IO told the court. “Physical remand should be given because all the incidents need to be investigated”. As the hearing continued, Niazi’s lawyer presented his arguments. “He is a well-known lawyer and PTI leader.”
His lawyer said Niazi was implicated in the case due to “mala fide intentions”, adding that “an arrest in a wrong case is illegal.” After the arguments of both sides were completed, Judge Gul reserved the verdict and announced it once the hearing resumed. The judge approved a two-week judicial remand but rejected the police’s request for a physical remand.
