During the hearing, Zubair’s lawyer argued before the court that the prosecution had not been able to present any evidence against his client.
He recalled that 250 people were killed in the 2012 blaze, adding, “It has yet to be proven that my client set fire to the factory.” The lawyer asked the court to grant bail to Zubair.
A lawyer representing the Pakistan Rangers said that an anti-terrorism court had rejected Zubair’s bail. The prosecution added that another suspect, Mohammad Rizwan Qureshi, had told the joint investigation team (JIT), which investigated the Baldia factory fire, that the blaze was set as part of a plan.
Abdul Rehman, alias Bhola, the alleged frontman in the 2012 arson attack at the garment factory had also recorded his statement in the case.
