Case Background
A district and sessions court in Islamabad granted Hassaan Khan Niazi a one-day transit remand to the Quetta police on Friday.
Niazi was taken to Balochistan by Quetta police after the transit remand was approved.
According to sources, Hassan Niazi was charged with inciting violence and interfering with government affairs at the Airport police station in Quetta.
Police from Quetta went to Islamabad’s district and session courts to arrest Hassan Niazi. Judicial Magistrate Abbas Shah issued an arrest warrant for Hassan Niazi.
Hassan Niazi was later brought before the court. Hassan Niazi was handed over to Quetta police after Quetta police requested a one-day physical remand of him, which the judicial magistrate granted.
The court ordered the Quetta police investigation officer to bring Hassan Niazi before the appropriate court on March 25.
On March 18, Hassan Niazi was charged with inciting violence and interfering with police affairs at the Quetta Airport police station, following a complaint from Inspector Abdulllah of the Quetta Airport police station.
According to the case, while on patrol, the sub-inspector received information that 150 people, including Inayatullah Kakar, had blocked Chaman Road in Quetta.
Despite police attempts to disperse them, the demonstrators blocked the road for an hour. It should be noted that the Quetta police did not name Hassan Niazi in the FIR.
After a judicial magistrate in Islamabad approved a one-day transit remand, Quetta police took Hassan Khan Niazi into custody and transported him to Balochistan.
Niazi was apprehended by police outside Islamabad’s Judicial Complex on Monday for his role in attacking law enforcement officers and causing chaos in the federal capital.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
