An anti -terrorism court in Karachi gave the police on Tuesday a four -day Armaghan physical return, the main suspect in the case of Mustafa Amir murder, after the orders of the Superior Court of Sindh (SHC).
The SHC put aside its judicial prison today and ordered the formation of a probe body on the matter.
Amir, a 23 -year -old, was kidnapped and allegedly killed by his friends in the Karachi Defense Housing Authority (DHA) on January 6. According to the police, the friends of the young people put their body in the trunk of their car and set it on the area of the center of Baluchistan.
Earlier this month, the police arrested Armaghan for hurting the police in an attempt to resist their arrest in relation to the case of kidnapping of Amir. Another suspect, Armaghan’s friend, Sheraz, also known as Shavez Bukhari, was sent in police custody by an anti -terrorism court (ATC) last week.
Sindh’s interim attorney general, Muntazir Mehdi, on behalf of the Sindh government, had submitted review requests at the SHC, challenging ATC orders that denied the physical custody of the Armaghan Police and send it to a judicial rowing. Another request was also filed against an ATC order on the suspect’s father’s statement against a raid in his residence.
After issuing notices to the respondents yesterday for four reviews of review, a SHC bank of two members headed by Judge Zafar Ahmed Rajput resumed the hearing today.
Armaghan, declared that he was just over twenty years old, appeared before the Court according to the orders of yesterday’s bank. His father, Kamran Qureshi, was also present in the court and brought fruits for his son, claiming that the latter had been tortured during his detention.
Mehdi, Additional Attorney (APG) Muhammad Iqbal Awan, the current Investigation Inspector (IO) Muhammad Ali and the previous IO Ameer Ashfaq also appeared before the bank, along with other police officers.
During the hearing, Mehdi, Apg Awan and Io Ashfaq presented their disputes before the judges. The additional attorney general sought the physical custody of Armaghan for greater investigation.
The court reserved its verdict today and then issued a verdict, a copy of which it was seen by Dawn.comallowing the replicas of review presented by the Police and leaving aside the ATC orders of February 10 and February 11.
The SHC also ordered Armaghan to be presented before an ATC No. II in Karachi today for new orders in “the four remumption reports.”
The suspect was later presented at the aforementioned ATC whose judge granted the police its four -day physical return.
On January 12, the Local Police recovered a carbonized body in a hub burned car, after which the un claimed body was buried in Edhi’s cemetery in Karachi on January 16.
Amir’s family received a rescue call days after his kidnapping of January 6, that the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) said it was made to “deceive” the researchers.
A judicial magistrate yesterday allowed a request that sought the exhumation of Amir’s body and ordered the provincial secretary of Health to constitute a medical board to determine the cause of his death.
In addition to the murder case, the first information reports (FIR) against Armaghan have also been presented by police during the February 8 shooting and the recovery of imported illegal weapons.
Three Junior Police officers, including the station officer (SHO), of the Darakhshan police station, were suspended and degraded last week for their “attitude that was not professional.” The inspector General of Police (PGI) Ghulam Nabi Memon also detailed several “disadvantages” faced by police during the investigation of the case.
The audience
When Armaghan was presented to the court, handcuff and his face covered, his father told him that he was not “wearing well”, to which the suspect responded with a “yes.”
At the beginning of the hearing, Apg Awan read a FIR before court and detailed the developments from the disappearance of chronologically.
He said that the kidnapping case had registered against unknown people when Amir disappeared on January 6, and added that Darakhshan police recorded his mother’s statement.
After the victim’s family received a rescue call on January 13, the case was transferred to the anti-violent crime cell (AVCC), Awan informed the court.
When he began to count details about the police raid on February 8 in a bungalow in DHA, where it was reported that Armaghan was present, the bank asked who the CIA officer who investigated the case was, in which Awan said that Ameer was the IO.
“The raid was carried out at 4 PM and continued until 9 pm,” said the additional attorney general to the court.
Then, the bank asked about the supposedly recovered weapons of the primary suspect, to which he replied that there was a separated signed filed in that.
The lawyers of the Prosecutor’s Office replied that Armaghan appeared before an ATC on February 10 for a physical month in three cases, but the court denied the request.
The return request submitted by the Police before the ATC was read aloud.
The Prosecutor’s Office claimed to have recovered a mobile phone that belongs to Amir de Armaghan. He added that according to police records, the main suspect already had “five cases registered against him before.”
One of the cases, which belonged to the extortion, was recorded at the police station of the ship basin and Armaghan was sought, said a prosecutor.
At one point, the Court asked if the ATC had denied the Police application of Armaghan’s physical prison “for some reason.” In responding that the lawyer replied that “there was no reason,” the court asked: “Was the return due to torture? What torture was made [to Armaghan]? “
“They tortured me,” Armaghan claimed before the bank, in which Judge Rajput ordered that his body be reviewed by any torture signal, but no signs were found in which his shirt was lifted.
“They tortured me at the bottom of the body,” said the main suspect.
Given this, the court asked Armaghan if he had complained about the alleged torture to prison officials after being delivered in judicial custody. “I was surprised,” the suspect replied.
Apg Awan later declared that the ATC had ordered that a joint research team (JIT) be formed, added that the blood samples taken from the Armaghan residence coincided with those of Amir’s mother.
He reiterated the request for Physical Custody of Armaghan, emphasizing that it was necessary for greater investigation, since forensic tests of laptops allegedly recovered from the main suspect would be carried out.
Judge Rajput then called Io Ashfaq to La Tribuna, who informed the Court that the ATC did not give him a letter for Armaghan’s medical examination, but only verbal directives.
“If a judicial prison was ordered, then it was not his responsibility [to get the medical test done. Your duty was to hand over the custody to the jail officials,” the bench observed.
Then, the registrar of the ATC denying the physical remand was summoned to the rostrum but a Sindh home ministry official appeared, telling the court that the post was vacant and an official assigned to the role temporarily had gone for Umrah.
At one point, Justice Rajput observed, “The entire [ATC] The order was written, but JC (judicial custody) was applying Whitus in it. […] Police custody is still written in order. “
Then, the Court reserved its verdict on police review supplications. Later today, the bank issued a written order, directing that Armaghan will be presented before an ATC today for new orders.
