The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Wednesday referred the bail petition of Sahir Hasan, the son of renowned actor Sajid Hasan, in a drug recovery case to the constitutional bench.
The petitioner’s lawyer told the court earlier that the accused had been in jail on judicial remand.
Police said that the accused was arrested on February 22 with five packets of weed in his possession.
Sahir Hasan, who is under arrest in connection with Mustafa Amir’s murder case, earlier revealed that students order drugs through smartphone applications, which are then delivered to specific locations.
He denied allegations that they directly supply narcotics to educational institutions, stating that students themselves place orders online. He also claimed that they befriend students at colleges and universities, who then become addicted to narcotics.
He further said that initially, only a few students buy narcotics; however, the circle then expands across universities and colleges.
SSP Shoaib Memon, investigating the case, said two major groups are involved in the narcotics trade in Karachi; one group smuggles drugs from California, while the other sells Iranian narcotics. The police have launched a crackdown on these groups, with a focus on the Iranian group.
