MAHAM RAPE AND MURDER SUSPECT HANDED OVER TO POLICE FOR 5 DAYS

An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Tuesday remanded the prime suspect in the Maham rape and murder case in police custody for five days.

The Korangi police produced suspect Zakir before the court with his face covered with a piece of cloth and requested his physical remand for investigation.

The court handed over the custody of the accused to the police on a five-day physical remand and ordered the investigation officer (IO) to produce him on next hearing with a progress report.

During the hearing, the IO informed the judge that the DNA samples of the suspect matched with those collected from the victim. Moreover, he added the suspect confessed to having committed the felony.

He said the suspect’s statement under section 164 is to be recorded before a judicial magistrate in addition to his identification parade, for which his physical remand is needed.

Speaking to the media outside the court, the father of the minor victim lamented, “We did not know that among us lives a beast of a man.”

Abdul Khaliq said if they knew suspect Zakir, also a father of two and whose own daughter is just one-and-a-half-year older than the victim Maham herself, was such a monster, they would have kicked him out of the neighborhood.

I appeal to the law that such monsters be handed out public hanging sentences, the father said. He said that while the police have confirmed the DNA of Zakir matches the samples collected from the body, there’s a possibility that more evidence turns up.

RING ROAD SCAM: FORMER RAWALPINDI COMMISSIONER SEEKS BAIL

Former commissioner of Rawalpindi Captain (retd) Muhammad Mahmood has approached an anti-corruption court seeking post-arrest bail in a case pertaining to the Ring Road scam.

After a preliminary hearing of the bail plea, the court directed the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) to submit the complete record of the case on next hearing on August 6.

The incarcerated former commissioner filed the bail plea through his lawyer, stating that he had never been involved in corrupt practices. The case was aimed to persecute him, he added.

Unmute
He alleged that he was being subjected to vengeful action for not obeying political bigwigs and termed a fact-finding committee formed to look into the scam illegal.

The former bureaucrat pleaded with the court to order his release him on bail.

A team of Punjab’s Anti-Corruption Establishment had last month arrested the ex-Rawalpindi commissioner and chairman land acquisition Waseem Tabish over their alleged role in the Ring Road scam.

ACE Director General Gohar Nafees while confirming the arrests during a presser and said that Waseem Tabish purchased properties after the scam while an audit of the assets of Captain (retd) Muhammad Mahmood was currently being investigated.

The anti-corruption official said that they examined 21,000 documents to conclude their investigations and it emerged that the total cost of the project was raised to Rs60 billion after a change in the alignment of the Ring Road project.
