Drug peddler remanded
The right-hand man of a suspect involved in a drugs case, Ali Hassan Brohi, was remanded into judicial custody and sent to jail for 14 days.
Gulshan-e-Maymar police presented alleged drug peddler Ali Hassan in the judicial magistrate west, Arif Rajput’s, court on Saturday. The police submitted the jail warrant in court and said that the accused should be sent to jail.
Expressing disapproval, the court asked the police why they had issued a jail warrant without court orders to which the investigation officer apologised.
