MQM Ex-PMA Nadeem Hashmi sent on 7 day physical remand
Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) sector incharge and former MPA Nadeem Hashmi was sent on a 7-day physical remand by the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC).
Nadeem Hashmi was arrested for allegedly firing at a police mobile and killing two police personnel Muhammad Ali and Arif in Hyderi.
The Hyderi police arrested Nadeem Hashmi on charges of terrorism and murder in a raid on his house in North Nazimabad on Tuesday night.
The former MPA was taken to court in an armoured personnel vehicle (APV).
Hashmi was held inside the APV briefly in wait for ATC Judge Khalida before being ushered in under heavy security.
The exact charges and names of accomplices – if any – will be made clearer during the hearing for remand.
Under ATC rules, the police will request a 14-day remand in order to investigate and prepare their case for the next hearing.
The raid on Tuesday night also resulted in the arrest of several other MQM workers.
