Court orders IO to submit challan in Sahir Hasan case

A local court in Karachi on Wednesday directed the investigating officer to submit the final challan in the drug possession case involving Sahir Hasan, son of renowned actor Sajid Hasan, within six days.

Judicial Magistrate South, Shehzad Khawaja, issued the order during a hearing held at the judicial complex at Karachi Central Jail. The case pertains to the alleged recovery of narcotics from Sahir Hasan earlier this year.

During the proceedings today, jail authorities presented the accused before the magistrate, while police submitted a corrected interim challan during the session.

The judge instructed the investigating officer to finalise the case and submit the complete challan by April 22. The court also directed that the accused be produced again on the same date.

Police officials informed the court that Sahir Hasan remains in custody on judicial remand.

Sahir, who has worked as a model and actor, was arrested on drug possession charges, with police recovering narcotics worth Rs50 million from him.

Investigators claim he had been involved in drug distribution for at least two years.

Moreover, according to the SIU police, Sahir Hasan disclosed that both Mustafa Amir, and his suspected murderer Armughan, used to buy drugs from him.

Investigators revealed that on January 2, Mustafa Amir acquired two grams of drugs from Sahir Hasan on credit. Later, on January 15, Armughan and Shiraz visited him and bought an ounce of drugs worth Rs350,000.

During investigation, Sahir revealed an extensive drug trafficking network. According to SIU officials, the suspect disclosed that the drugs originate from Colombia and are smuggled into Pakistan via California.

They arrive in Islamabad and Lahore through courier services. Two brothers, operating through the dark web, orchestrate these shipments and coordinate deliveries in Pakistan. One of their cousins facilitates the final distribution in Karachi.
