KARACHI: A local court in Sukkur on Saturday sent Asad Kharal, alleged frontman for Sindh government on a 14-day judicial remand.
He was arrested from Shikarpur Road during snap checking by the Rangers on Thursday, Geo News reported.
According to the report, he has been accused of owning illegal weapons and interfering in government affairs.
Meanwhile, Sindh Interior Minister Suhail Anwar Siyal distanced himself from Kharal. “I or my family have no link to Asad Kharal,” he said.
Earlier he escaped Rangers custody after a mob of his supporters helped him flee.
Asad Kharal, an otherwise nobody has been making headlines for the past one week. He was arrested last week by the Rangers in a raid near Hyderabad, days after he escaped from their custody—assisted by a mob of his supporters.
In the next few days one saw the Sindh government spring to action. The Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah in a meeting with Corps Commander Karachi Lieutenant General Naveed Mukhtar on Friday expressed dissatisfaction over the Rangers exceeding powers in Sindh. The two-hour long meeting held in the CM House discussed the Larkana incident, Rangers stay in Sindh and arrest of Asad Kharal in detail, sources told Geo News.
