US EditionWarrant out for Gandapur in arms, liquor case
The arrest warrant follows nearly nine years of case delays due to Ali Amin Gandapur's court absences in an alleged illegal arms and liquor recovery case.
- On September 17, a judicial authority in Islamabad ordered the detention of Ali Amin Gandapur, the head of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s provincial government, in connection with a case involving the seizure of liquor and illegal firearms.
- The court issued the warrant after Gandapur repeatedly avoided recording his statement, despite multiple rejected requests for representation.
- The proceedings have stretched on for close to nine years, with prosecution witnesses giving statements since May of last year, and police seizing illegal items purportedly from Gandapur's vehicle back in 2016.
- Judicial Magistrate Mubashir Hassan directed that the accused be produced before the court, promising to withdraw the warrants upon compliance, and cautioned that no additional accommodations would be provided if the statement is not submitted by July 21.
- Authorities were instructed to promptly apprehend Gandapur and ensure his appearance in court on September 17, with the warning that failure to attend could lead to a judgment being made without him.
