In Black: Comments sought from FIA DG

LAHORE: An additional district and sessions judge on Wednesday sought comments from the Federal Investigation Agency director general in connection with a plea seeking a case against a gang involved in trading dollars in black. Kamran Qadri told the court that he had been putting up in the house of one Sheikh Sajid. He said he had prevailed on him to purchase dollars from him and then sell them onwards at a great margin. Qadri said he had met Sajid along with friend on August 5, 2015. He said he had given them some dollars and kept two blank cheques as a guarantee. Qadri said after having it inspected they had learnt that the money had been obtained illegally. He said Sajid had started behaving evasively after being asked to return the cheques he had kept as a guarantee.
