Lahore witnessed a former PTI MPA, Shabbir Gujjar, being sent to jail for an identification parade on Tuesday, according to an anti-terrorism court. The judge's decision followed the investigating officer's claim that Gujjar was implicated in the case related to the attack on the Corps Commander House. The court granted the request and gave the investigators a seven-day window to conduct the parade.
Shabbir Gujjar's legal representative contested the request, arguing that the police had not classified his client as a suspect for three years. He asserted that Gujjar's arrest was politically motivated due to his membership in the PTI and contended that there was no valid reason to detain him. The defense counsel further sought to have Gujjar acquitted, but the public prosecutor opposed this, emphasizing the necessity of the identification parade for the ongoing investigation.
After considering both sides' arguments, the court opted to detain Shabbir Gujjar until the identification parade could be completed.
