Quetta police had earlier applied to the ATC, seeking transit remand for Shah. The application cited a murder and attempted murder case registered against the famous designer at Quetta’s Bijli Road police station. Shah had been brought from Lahore by Quetta police earlier this month.
During the proceedings today, according to the sources, the mother of Shah and her six-year-old daughter were present. The police stated in their application that the suspect’s warrant had been obtained from the ATC in Quetta.
Syed Iqbal Shah Advocate, during the proceedings, stated that Khadija Shah was arrested in connection with the May 9 protests outside BA Mall, adding that they had challenged the arrest of the fashion designer.
