LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) was informed on Friday (18th August, 2023) that Hassaan Niazi, the nephew of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, had been handed over to the military for investigation and trial in a case of attacking the Jinnah House on 9th May.

The AAG submitted that Hassaan Niazi was nominated in the Jinnah House attack case and he was a key suspect.

He submitted that the accused was arrested from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and he was handed over to the military on an application of the commanding officer, after fulfilling all legal requirements.

The petitioner’s counsel alleged Hassaan Niazi was handed over to the military without adopting legal process, and pleaded with the court to issue directions for a meeting of his client with the accused.

To which, the court asked the AAG whether he had any objection to the meeting of the father and son.

The AAG replied that rules and regulations would have to be seen in that regard.

The court directed the AAG to seek instructions from relevant authorities about the meeting and adjourned the hearing for a short while.

Later, the court heard the matter in chamber and reserved its verdict about the meeting of father and son, following the statement of the AAG.
