Defense Claims Political Scapegoating in Afghan Pakistani Case

The defense lawyers said that the arrested men were Afghan nationals and Pakistani citizens. “All Afghan nationals were picked from their homes at Islamabad’s Karachi Company and Trinol,” lawyers said. “Their total number has been 146 while 421 people have been nominated as accused in the case,” defense lawyers told the court.

Lawyers said that the accused have been made scapegoats with suspected recoveries. “There is no video or private witness,” they said.

Lawyers said that the case has been cooked up on political grounds and no geo-fencing report, CDR, or video exists. “There are 14 cases of bail, but their investigation officers didn’t appear”.

The prosecutor told the court that the record of the case will reach the court in a while.

“I will summon the DIG in person if the record doesn’t come,” Judge Abu Al-Hasanat Zulqarnain said.
