Ephedrine case: Narcotics court indicts PML-N's Hanif Abbasi, 7 others

Abbasi denies charges, says case is based on ill-intent

RAWALPINDI:
A Control of Narcotics Substances (CNS) court on Wednesday indicted former MNA of Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz Hanif Abbasi and seven others in the ephedrine case today, Express News reported.

Hanif Abbasi was accused of misappropriating 500kg of the controlled chemical ephedrine, obtained in 2010, and allegedly selling it to narcotics smugglers.

During the hearing today, Judge Akhtar Bahadur issued notices to all the witnesses in the case and asked them to appear for the next hearing on November 12.


Abbasi denied these charges and said the case was based on ill-intent.

Earlier, the court had deferred the indictment of these accused as one of them was away to perform Hajj.

Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) had submitted a challan in the CNS court in the past and declared Abbasi, his brother and five employees of Grey Pharmaceuticals as accused.
