Sheikh Rashid, the leader of the Awami Muslim League (AML), has been placed on judicial remand for 14 days by a district and sessions court in the nation’s capital.
Having accused Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari of plotting to assassinate Khan, the former interior minister is now facing serious charges.
At the Aabpara Police Station in Islamabad, Raja Inayat Ur Rehman, the president of the PPP Rawalpindi Division, had reported Rashid. The FIR contains three sections: 120B (criminal conspiracy), 153A (promoting hostility between various groups), and 505 (statements encouraging public mischief).
After his two-day physical remand, the Islamabad Police brought the AML chief before Judicial Magistrate Umar Shabbir in the presence of heavy security.
In Muree and Karachi, the former interior minister is also being prosecuted. In addition to being named in two separate FIRs for making “offensive” and “filthy” comments about PPP Chairman and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, he has a case filed against him in Muree for threatening police officers.
The former interior minister will make a bail request on Monday, February 6, and the district and sessions court will hear it.
