Achakzai’s arrest warrant suspended

QUETTA: A local court in Quetta on Saturday suspended the arrest warrant of Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) Chairman Mahmood Khan Achakzai till next hearing on May 31, reports Geo News.

The investigation officer apprised the court that the PkMAP chief did not comply with the warrant by not appearing before the court in connection with the first information report (FIR) against him. The judicial magistrate suspended Achakzai’s arrest warrant and fixed the date for next hearing on May 31.

The warrant was issued a day earlier and the police were directed to arrest and produce him before the court on April 27.

The local administration had lodged a case at the Gawalmandi police station against Achakzai on March 11 for interference in the public affairs during a raid on his house. On March 4, the district administration refuted the claims of the raid at the senior politician’s house, saying that it just got an empty government land vacated near Achakzai’s house on Quetta’s Quarry road.
