Imran’s plea seeking suspension of arrest warrant rejected

[ad_1]
Islamabad: A district and sessions court in Islamabad on Monday rejected Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khans’ plea seeking suspension of the non-bailable arrest warrant issued against him in the Toshakhna case, media reports said.
Additional session judge Zafar Iqbal announced the verdict he had reserved earlier in the day after a brief hearing of the case, Geo News reported.
During Monday’s hearing, Khan’s lawyers Ali Bukhari, Qaiser Imam and Gohar Ali Khan appeared before the court.
Bukhari contended that his client has always followed court orders. While Imam argued that if Khan is willing to appear, the police cannot arrest him.
At this, the judge remarked that the PTI chief could have approached the Islamabad High Court for the suspension of the warrant, Geo News reported.
However, Imam told the judge that they want the sessions court to suspend the warrant. While Bukhari added that the PTI chief was at his Zaman Park residence in Lahore.
“Imran Khan wants to know a way he can appear in court,” said Bukhari.
Imam added that a private complaint was registered against the PTI chief under the Election Act 2017. He argued that usually arrest warrant are not issued on a private complaint and urged the court to suspend the warrant.

The judge remarked that the PTI chief’s lawyer had informed them that their client will not appear in court, Geo News reported.
The judge then reserved the verdict on the petition.
On February 28, Additional Sessions Judge Zafar Iqbal issued the former prime minister’s non-bailable arrest warrant for continuously failing to appear before the court in the Toshakhana case.
As per court orders Islamabad Police team on Sunday, led by a superintendent of police, had visited Zaman Park to implement the arrest warrant. But failed to do so.
The PTI chief has also approached the Lahore High Court today for post-arrest bail in the case, Geo News reported.

Imran Khan dodges arrest after Islamabad Police show up at his residence

[ad_1]
Lahore: A team of Islamabad police on Sunday reached Lahore residence of ousted prime minister Imran Khan to arrest him in the Toshakhana case, but returned after assurance from his legal team that he will appear before the court on March 7.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) vice chairman and former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said there is no mention of “arrest” in the warrants as an Islamabad sessions court has asked him to appear before it on March 7 in the Toshakhana case.
The 70-year-old cricketer-turned politician, who has been recovering from a gunshot injury from an assassination attempt in Wazirabad last year, has thrice skipped indictment hearings in the case.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief has been in the crosshairs for buying gifts, including an expensive Graff wristwatch he had received as the premier at a discounted price from the state depository called Toshakhana and selling them for profit.
The court issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Khan last week and adjourned the hearing till March 7 for his repeated failure to appear before the court.
Meanwhile, Lahore police have closed the main road leading to the Zaman Park residence of Khan by placing containers. Riot police and water cannons are currently present near Khan’s residence. His party fears that police may raid Khan’s house anytime. However, it said the party workers will foil any such attempt.
Punjab Inspector General of Police Dr Usman Anwar said in a statement that Punjab police would cooperate with Islamabad police to implement the court’s order regarding Khan’s case. He, however, did not say that police are going to arrest Khan.
“Punjab police will help Islamabad police in implementing the court’s order,” he said.

The Prime Minister’s special assistant on interior Attaullah Tarar told reporters that the Islamabad police went to Khan’s residence to deliver a notice to him to appear before a court in the Toshakhana case on March 7 when he will be indicted in the case.
“Today Imran Khan locked himself in a room in Zaman Park. Khan’s chief of staff Shibli Faraz said he wasn’t at home when the Islamabad police came to deliver a court’s notice. But Khan later appeared from his house addressing the party workers,” Tarar said.
A large number of PTI workers reached the Zaman Park following the news of his possible arrest. “Arrest of Imran Khan is our red line and we will not allow this,” PTI senior leader Shafqat Mahmood said.
As the Islamabad police were present outside his residence to deliver the court’s order, Khan was speaking at the gathering of those workers arrested in Jail Bharo Tehreek’ (court arrest movement) at his residence.
Khan claimed “they” wanted to kill him while on the way to his court appearance. “They have made yet another plan to kill me during a court appearance,” he alleged.
“I will write to the chief justice of Pakistan telling him that 74 false cases have been registered against me. I have a threat to my life from those who are supposed to protect me,” he said, in an indirect reference to the establishment.
“Take an example of criminals like (Prime Minister) Shehbaz Sharif and (Interior Minister) Rana Sanaullah who were involved in killing people and an attempt on his life (in Wazirabad in November last year) ” he said.
Khan also named “Dirty Harry’, a reference to a top ISI officer, for brutal torture of his party leaders and social media activists. “Dirty Harry is a psychopath. He is a sick man. There is a threat to my life from such people,” he said.
In a series of tweets, the Islamabad Police earlier said an operation to arrest Khan was being conducted with the cooperation of the Lahore police.
“Imran Khan is avoiding the arrest. The superintendent of police had gone into Imran’s room but he was not present there. Islamabad Police will transfer Imran Khan to Islamabad under their protection. Law is equal for all. Legal action will be taken against those obstructing the execution of court orders,” the Islamabad police said.
The Islamabad police said its team is still present in Lahore.
IG Islamabad Akbar Nasir said that the court has ordered police to present Khan before it by March 7 after arresting him.
“The Islamabad police team will remain in Lahore till further orders,” he said.
Meanwhile, senior PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry told reporters that Khan is filing a protective bail petition in the Lahore High Court in the attack on Islamabad judicial complex.
Khan was ousted from power in April after losing a no-confidence vote, which he alleged was part of a US-led conspiracy targeting him because of his independent foreign policy decisions on Russia, China, and Afghanistan.
Since his ouster, Khan has been clamouring for immediate elections to oust what he termed was an “imported government” led by prime minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Sharif has maintained that elections will be held later this year once the parliament completes its five-year tenure.

Hyderabad police arrest black magician under POCSO Act

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: City police arrested a black magician on Friday under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 for inappropriately touching a minor.
On December 12, the police received a written complaint against 52-year-old Sha Ghulam Nakshband Hafeez Pasha who is known to practise black magic in Rahamathabad Shareef Dargah.
The complainant stated that three years ago she suffered from heart problems, breathing issues and weakness of nerves. Upon not receiving treatment that improved her symptoms, she was guided to perform prayers at Rahmathabad Shareef Dargah.
At the Dargah, two individuals, Rafiq and Rasool introduced her to the black magician, Hafeez Pasha. After he conducted the prayers, he was invited to perform prayers at her house in Hyderabad.
Under the pretext of prayers, Hafeez Pasha touched her inappropriately at her home. When she informed her parents about this, he deflected the accusation stating that her mental condition was not good.
With the help of her parents, she fixed hidden cameras in a room where he conducts the prayers. The next time he visited her house to perform the prayers and touched her inappropriately, the act was recorded.
The victim’s family confronted the black magician with the camera footage, after which he admitted guilt and promised to marry her.
The report said that as the date fixed for the marriage approached, he allegedly got himself admitted to Prime Hospital, Ameerpet to avoid the marriage.

She approached the police and requested them to take action as per the law.
A case has been registered against him under the POCSO law and he was arrested and remanded for judicial custody on Friday by the Langar house police.

Sisodia’s arrest: Delhi govt’s budget preparation likely to be affected, say sources

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The preparation of the Delhi government’s budget for the next financial year is likely to be affected following the arrest of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who also holds the finance portfolio, sources said on Monday.
The finance department is still in the process of finalising the budgetary allocations.
“Various departments have sent their budget estimates, revenue utilised this year. The budget is not yet finalised. The allocations to various departments are still being finalised,” an official said.
There were plans to present the budget around the second week of March but it might be pushed to the third or fourth week. However, it has to be presented before April 1, when the new financial year starts.
Before Sisodia’s questioning by the CBI in the excise policy case, the deputy chief minister held a series of budget-related meetings, with Revenue Minister Kailash Gahlot also being a part of them.
Sources in the Aam Aadmi Party said Gahlot may present the Delhi government budget this time.
“As there was a possibility that the deputy chief minister may be arrested by the CBI, Gahlot was attending budget-related meetings for the last few days. Gahlot is likely to present the 2023-24 budget. It is scheduled to be presented next month. If Sisodia gets bail, he will present the budget but if he doesn’t, Gahlot might do it,” an AAP functionary told PTI.
Sisodia was originally summoned by the CBI last Sunday but he sought deferment of his questioning citing the ongoing Budget exercise, following which, the CBI had asked him to appear on February 26.

He was arrested on Monday and remanded to five-day CBI custody the next day.
The Arvind Kejriwal government is staring at a possible crisis with the CBI arresting Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia who holds as many as 18 of the total 33 departments, including education, finance and home.
The arrest of Sisodia comes after that of Satyendar Jain, Delhi’s the then health minister, in June last year. Both have led what the Aam Aadmi Party describes as the successful transformation of Delhi’s education and health services, contributing to the party’s popularity and continued electoral success.
Their absence leaves Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal with no heavyweight lieutenant to implement his governance agenda in Delhi.

Jammu: AAP stages protest against Sisodia’s arrest

[ad_1]
Jammu: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday staged a protest outside the BJP office here to protest against the arrest of Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia by the CBI in connection with alleged corruption in the now-scrapped excise policy.
Several AAP leaders and workers from different parts of Jammu province gathered outside the BJP office at Trikuta Nagar and held a demonstration against the Central government, a party spokesman said.
“The BJP government at the Centre is arresting opposition leaders through various agencies by implicating them in various scams so that pressure can be put on them to suppress their voices,” AAP leader Amit Kapoor told reporters.
Demanding immediate release of Sisodia, he said his arrest is a “black chapter” in the democracy as he is innocent and making constant efforts to provide better education to children of poor families.
“AAP workers will not tolerate such kind of actions and will start a big movement against the BJP-led government,” he said, calling upon the party workers to unite to oppose such “anti-people and anti-democratic” steps.
