Moonis Elahi’s missing friend appears in court

• Police presented Ahmad Faran Khan in court
• He is a friend of former federal minister Moonis Elahi
• Ahmed Farhan told court he was with his family

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday disposed of a habeas corpus petition challenging alleged detention of Ahmad Faran Khan, a friend of former federal minister Moonis Elahi, after the police produced the detainee before it.

Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Ghulam Mahmood Dogar personally appeared before the court along with the alleged missing man. At this, Justice Aalia Neelum disposed of the petition filed by the brother of Khan.

Outside the court, Khan gave no clear answer to the reporters who wanted to know as to who had kidnapped him. “I was with my family,” he simply said.

In the petition, Salman Zaheer Khan, the brother of Ahmad Faran, alleged that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) picked up his brother and kept him in illegal custody.

However, the FIA, in its report, denied the allegation. It said there was no FIR registered against Farhan nor was he in its custody.

Later, the court directed police to trace the whereabouts of the petitioner’s brother and produce him before the court.

The FIA launched an inquiry against the family of Chief Minister Parvez Elahi on charges of corporate crime. The agency also issued a call-up notice to the friend of Moonis but he did not appear before it.
