A district and sessions court in Islamabad has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur in a case related to the possession of illegal arms and liquor. The court also rejected Gandapur’s plea for exemption from appearance on medical grounds.
Civil Judge Shaista Khan Kundi dismissed the exemption request, directing the Barakahu police station house officer (SHO) to arrest Gandapur and produce him before the court. The court’s decision marks a significant escalation in the ongoing legal proceedings against the Chief Minister.
Gandapur has been under investigation in a case dating back to October 30, 2016, when he was allegedly involved in an illegal gathering that defied the orders of the District Magistrate. The case has seen numerous developments over the years, but the issuance of a non-bailable arrest warrant represents a critical moment in the legal process.
The court’s renewed interest in determining Gandapur’s level of involvement in the 2016 incident indicates that his actions and presence during the illegal gathering are now under intense scrutiny. The arrest, if carried out, is expected to have significant legal and political implications.
As the case continues, all eyes will be on the developments surrounding Gandapur’s potential arrest and the subsequent legal proceedings.
