Pakistan court issues non-bailable arrest warrants for ex-army officer Adil Raja

RAWALPINDI – A Pakistani court issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against former armed forces officer Major (r) Adil Raja after he skipped hearing for cases lodged under sections related to criminal intimidation and breach of trust.

Reports in local media suggest that Adil Raja, who is famous for running his YouTube channel, faces case in the fraud case of property worth millions and for hurling threats.

Civil judge Muhammad Shahab issued the warrants after a case was registered against Adil Raja at the Banni police station.

The District and Sessions Court Rawalpindi also ordered authorities to freeze his assets including plots in upscale society and cars along with a two-wheeler.

Raja, in his take on the recent development, said no one can take away what Allah has written in his destiny. He also dialed his tirade against powerful quarter in another post.

کھوتے کے بچوں نے میرے خلاف 6 جنوری 2023 کو (جب مجھے پاکستان سے گئے 9 ماہ ہوچکے تھے) جعلی ایف آئی آر کٹوا کر جائیداد ضبط کرنے کا ڈرامہ رچایا ہے تاکہ مجھے خاموش کروایا جاسکے۔ لمبر ون کی عقل چیک کریں۔

جو اللّٰہ نے میرے نصیب میں لکھا ہے وہ مجھ سے کوئی چھین نہیں سکتا اور جو میرے نصیب میں نہیں وہ جو مرضی ہوجائے مجھے مل نہیں سکتا۔ https://t.co/v36Qfx3Rwc
