Hakim Said case takes new turn
The News International, KARACHI
KARACHI, Jan 27: The Hakim Said murder case may take a new turn following realisation by intelligence agencies that the MQM activist Aamirullah has wrongly been implicated. Sources said that Aamirullah has denied his involvement in the crime during investigations made afresh by a team headed by an officer of the rank of superintendent of police. There had been leaks already in the press that five police officers,originally involved with the investigations,have been transferred for misleading the prime minister on the issue. Aamirullah was arrested by a the then SSP Farooq Amin Qureshi who got an instant promotion as the DIG for his achievement. Several security agencies believe that while some of the MQM activists were involved in the high profile murder, the person arrested already,was not the real culprit.
Mystery of the coded message
Daily DAWN, Karachi
KARACHI, Nov 7: The agencies investigating the case of Hakim Said have either found no convincing or tangible evidence so far to be able to assume that the Karachi-based MPA who received a coded message soon after the murder of Hakim Said had a direct or indirect link with the plan, or, for reasons known to them alone, they have decided not to work in that direction.
Inquiries have shown that the man who had received, within half an hour of the murder, a coded pager message which, according to experts, was self-explanatory, has not been targeted at any stage of the inquiry so far. This, according to observers, gives rise to doubts about the credibility of the investigations made by various agencies so far.
The pager did not belong to MPA Zulfikar Haider, who was named by the prime minister in his press briefing and later in the FIR as the key figure in the Hakim Said case, inquiries showed. Consequently, the name of the MPA (who received the pager message) was not mentioned in the FIR registered against MPA Zulfikar Haider and six others, including Aamirullah, who is in the police custody.
The coded message was deciphered by experts following the recovery of some papers from the 12-seater Mazda used in the killing of Hakim Said which was later found abandoned at Eleandor Road. Well-placed sources, who declined to identify the MPA and the party he belongs to, only said that "the MPA who received the coded message was not Zulfikar Haider".
It is being asked why the law enforcement agencies and investigation teams did not work in that direction when the agencies knew about the coded message. These sources said the papers recovered from the abandoned vehicle included one bearing the number of a pager, which is in possession of an MPA hailing from Karachi. That was the only coded message received on that pager that day, the sources said.
Aamirullah made no confessional statement: Advocate General
Daily DAWN, Karachi
KARACHI, Nov 4: The government produced Shaikh Mohammad Aamirullah, accused in the murder of Hakim Mohammad Said, before the High Court of Sindh as directed on a habeas corpus petition filed by his mother. The mother and son met for the first time in the office of the additional registrar with the permission of the bench which heard the petition.
The accused, according to the advocate general M. Iqbal Raad, has not so far given his confessional statement which is required to be given before a magistrate under Section 164 CrPC. He has only confessed to having had a part in the murder before the police and notables, the bench comprising Chief Justice Kamal Mansur Alam and Justice M. Roshan Essani was informed.
The hearing of the habeas corpus petition was taken up on top of the lists of cases fixed for the day and lasted for about 30 minutes.
Sardar M. Ishaque and Qazi Khalid Ali, an MPA, appeared for the petitioner, Akhtari Begum, wife of Shaikh Mohammad Attaullah, resident of A-66/1, A-Area 'B' Road, Liaquatabad, Karachi Central, who had challenged the arrest and detention of Aamirullah.
The petition cited the home secretary, the inspector general of police, and SHO (Anti-burglary), Liaquatabad as respondents.
Qazi Khalid, a former minister in the coalition government in Sindh, submitted before a packed courtroom that there were contradictory versions of Aamir's "confessional statement" given by the prime minister and the advocate general.
He said the prime minister had been on record as having told a countrywide audience that Aamirullah had confessed to murdering Hakim Said, but the AG, Mr Raad, maintained that no confessional statement had been recorded and that the accused had only confessed to involvement before the police and notables.
Qazi Khalid requested the court to summon the prime minister to ascertain which of the two was telling the truth. He then observed that the prime minister has misled the nation on the television network by claiming that Aamirullah had confessed to the whole thing, thus maligning the MQM in the eyes of the public throughout the country through print and electronic media. He said making statements before the police was one thing and confessing before a magistrate on oath another.
The court, making its observation, said the defence could raise this point before the trial court, and that the present proceedings concerned the habeas corpus petition.
The bench ordered the medical superintendent of Civil Hospital Karachi to examine the detenu from Thursday and submit his report within 10 days.
The court also directed the police to allow the mother, her counsel Sardar Ishaque to visit the CIA Centre where the detenu had been lodged since his arrest on Oct 22.
Qazi Khalid submitted that the detenu had been tortured so much that he was unable to walk. He pointed out that Aamir was supposed to have been produced on television the other day but at the last moment the programme was cancelled.
He also said if the prime minister's reference to Aamir's so-called confessional statement were true and if his statements had been recorded under sections 164 and 364 CrPC, the accused should have been remanded to judicial custody under the mandatory provisions of Criminal Procedure Code.
He further said Aamirullah had not been arrested in Hakim Said's murder so far and under the law if he was being made an approver, even then he should be made an accused first and approver later. Therefore, the counsel argued, his detention was without lawful authority and to give the cover of legality to his arrest he had been falsely implicated in other cases in which remands had been given by the magistrates.
In his para-wise comments on the petition, the advocate general submitted that the detenu was arrested on the night of Oct 21 under section 54 CrPC by the SHO of Liaquatabad police station and, during the course of interrogation, he had named 12 crimes in which he had been involved. He said Aamir was an absconder in those cases and had been nominated in two cases of Liaquatabad police station.
The AG said the detenu had admitted his involvement in the murder of Hakim Said and had himself led the police to seize unlicensed weapons - a kalashnikov and 103 live rounds- from his house in 'A' area Sindhi Hotel, Liaquatabad. He was arrested in the case No 339/95 under section 13-E, Arms Ordinance and case No 643/95 under section 302, 324 Qisas and Diyat Ordinance, 34 PPC of Liaquatabad police.
The AG maintained that Aamir had been legally arrested and was under lawful custody of the police by virtue of the remand granted up to Nov 2 by the judicial magistrate.
He also denied allegations of maltreatment and torture.
The AG's statement also included details of 16 cases against Aamirullah and in two of them his name has been mentioned in the FIR. He was arrested by Gulbahar police in a murder case and challaned in absentia in 13 other cases.
FASIH CASE: On a petition filed against the death in custody of Fasih Ahmed 'Jugno' filed by his mother, Mumtaz Begum, the government has filed comments in which it has been stated that a judicial inquiry has been ordered to be conducted by the district magistrate of the Central district. But, he said, the petitioners were not coming forward to record their evidence and were filing petitions.
The government's statement said in order to determine the specific cause of Fasih's death, the petitioners should join the right forum and if there were any grievances after the inquiry report had been submitted, they could file petitions.
The petition filed by Syed Qasim Raza against the arrest and detention of his son, Dr Asim Raza, a medical officer at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, has been withdrawn because the detenu has been released and admitted to a hospital for treatment of his injuries sustained in police custody.
The government, has, however, denied having arrested him.
In another petition, filed by Hajira Begum, challenging the arrest of her sons, Arshad Safaraz and Mansur, the government has admitted that they were arrested.
In another petition filed by Shahnaz Begum, comments have been filed denying the arrest of Syed Mujib, Mohammad Adnan, Mohammad Salman and Mohammad Kamran.
In yet another petition filed by Mohammad Jamil, the government has admitted the arrest of his son, Babar Jamali, on specific charges on Oct 27.
The court has fixed the next date of hearing on Nov 18.
PTV puts off telecast of Aamirullah's statement
Daily DAWN, Karachi
KARACHI, Oct 31: After repeated announcements about the telecast of suspect Aamirullah's confessional statement, the Pakistan Television announced on Saturday that the plan was suspended for "certain reasons".
The PTV did not elaborate the reasons that led to either the scrapping or the postponement of the plan.
Numerous people in the city were eagerly waiting for the telecast of the statement of the suspect described by the government as one of Hakim Said's murderers.
When reached by telephone, the Karachi Centre managing director expressed ignorance about the reasons that forced the suspension of the programme.
Syed Mohsin Ali said the programme was to be aired by the Islamabad Centre, therefore, authorities there alone could reveal the causes for suspending the programme. However, according to PTV sources in Islamabad, the decision to drop the telecast of the interview was taken following instructions by the government that some new developments with regard to the investigations of Hakim Said's murder had taken place.
A decision to telecast the statement would be taken at a later stage, the sources said.
