QUETTA: A judicial magistrate on Saturday remanded Balochistan legislator Majeed Khan Achakzai to police custody for five days.
A traffic sergeant, Haji Attaullah, was run over and killed near Quetta’s GPO Chowk earlier this week when a vehicle allegedly belonging to the legislator ran him over.
The incident had come to light when footage of the legislator’s vehicle ramming into the traffic officer began circulating on social media on Friday.
The legislator’s vehicle had been speeding, the police said. Police had arrested Majeed Achakzai from his residence in the Satellite Town area of Quetta Friday night following a campaign on social media mounting pressure on the government to arrest him.
Police produced Majeed Achakzai, who belongs to the Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP), before the Judicial Magistrate on Saturday, who remanded the accused to police custody for five days.
Majeed Achakzai, is an elected MPA for Balochistan from the PB-13 Killa Abdullah district.
