In an important development in the arms and liquor recovery case, the local court in Islamabad has directed Ali Amin Gandapur, the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, to appear in person on May 20.
The court posed new questions to Gandapur’s lawyer, Zahoorul Hasan, during the hearing.
The case dates back to October 30, 2016, when Ali Amin Gandapur was allegedly involved in an illegal gathering and violated the orders of the District Magistrate. The court is seeking clarification on several key points, including the PTI leader’s presence at the scene and his actions during the incident.
The court provided a detailed questionnaire to Zahoorul Hasan, Gandapur’s legal representative. Among the questions were inquiries about his awareness and understanding of the evidence and arguments presented in the case.
The court also questioned whether the KP CM participated in an unlawful assembly and fled from the scene using a black car, taking advantage of the nearby forest to escape.
Importantly, the court is examining the recovery of an unlicensed gun from Allah Nawaz, who was reportedly found wearing a bulletproof jacket in the back seat of Gandapur’s vehicle. In addition to the firearm, illegal weapons and a bottle of alcohol were also allegedly recovered from the car.
