A Sessions Court in Islamabad has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur in an arms and liquor recovery case, ARY News reported.

It came in connection with a case dating back to 2016, where police claimed to have found weapons and liquor in Gandapur’s car.

During the recent court hearing, the judge denied Gandapur’s request to be excused from appearing due to health reasons, leading to the issuance of the arrest warrants, as per ARY News.

The session court Judge Shaista Khan Kundi heard the case and ordered the SHO of Bhara Kahu police station to arrest Gandapur and present him before the court on September 5.

Earlier, the court summoned KP CM Ali Amin Gandapur in an arms and liquor recovery case.

According to ARY News, the District and Sessions Judge also sought replies to nine questions from Gandapur, directing him to appear before the court in person.

It is important to note here that the police claimed to have recovered weapons and liquor from Ali Amin Gandapur’s car on 30th October 2016.

Ali Amin Gandapur’s car was stopped and searched at a check post at the Rukhsana Bangash road when he was going to the residence of Imran Khan in Bani Gala, according to the police.

The weapons were displayed at Bara Kahu police station of Islamabad, which included four Kalashnikovs, ammunition, tear-gas fire gun and bulletproof vests.

Meanwhile last month, it had come to light that federal government and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had secret discussions before party’s much-anticipated public gathering, which postponed later.

According to sources, the federal administration had spoken with Ali Amin Gandapur, the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, about postponing the public event.

They claimed that after Ali Amin Gandapur rejected requests to postpone the PTI gathering, connections were made with Azam Swati and Barrister Gohar Ali, the chairman of the Imran Khan-founded PTI.

According to those with knowledge of the issue, Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur vehemently refuted any intention to reschedule the event, and he was even extended an invitation to view and hear PTI founder Imran Khan’s audio and video addresses.

“Ali Amin Gandapur refused to see Imran Khan’s messages,” the sources said, according to ARY News.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM also set conditions, saying that PTI’s founder should be released from jail and brought forward or contacted via video.

Moreover, the sources said Ali Amin Gandapur made it clear that he would not even meet the PTI founder in jail over the postponement of the public gathering. They added that there has been no meeting between Ali Amin Gandapur and the PTI founder for over 25 days, ARY News reported. (ANI)
