In Karachi's DHA phase 8, a judicial magistrate ordered two men, Muhammad Ibrahim and Waqar Ali, to remain in jail on Thursday, following their second physical remand in an assault case. The suspects were accused of assaulting young man Syed Ali Jafri, whose complaint led to the filing of charges under several sections of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).
Jafri, who appeared scared after the incident, initially remained silent but later sought police assistance when his attackers shared a video of the assault on social media. The incident reportedly occurred at an e-gaming facility in Bukhari Commercial, after which the suspects allegedly kidnapped Jafri and his friend, taking him to an empty plot in Sahil Avenue.
During the ordeal, Jafri was beaten with a baseball bat, had his hair pulled, and was threatened with harm to his family if he did not comply with the attackers' demands. Police seized a car and a mobile phone, and an identification parade was scheduled before the court. However, the magistrate deemed further police custody unnecessary, citing the admission of co-accused to interim bail and the well-founded nature of the accusations.
