The Hearing

During today’s hearing of the case before the court of civil judge, Mubashir Hassan Chishti, the police requested the court to grant a 10-day physical remand of the suspect, Shahnawaz, for interrogation, while filing a petition seeking for the approval of arrest warrants for the parents of the suspects and taking his fingerprints.

Shahnawaz’s lawyer said that it was a “blind murder” and they had no objection to the police’s request for a remand. He also asserted that it was a case based on “just allegations” right now. The court ended up granting a two-day physical remand for interrogation and accepted the pea for issuance of arrest warrants for the parents of Shahnawaz.

However, the court rejected the request for taking the suspect’s fingerprints. “The fingerprints can be acquired from National Database and Registration Authority,” the judge said.
