Ijaz Ahmed, the proprietor of Insaf Book Depot, Aminpur Bazaar, Faisalabad, who was arrested on Saturday, April 19, on charges of printing and supplying pirated Oxford University Press textbooks to schools and parents, appeared in court for a hearing, says a press release.
The judge presiding over the case granted three days remand to the offender and handed him over to the FIA for interrogation, the release said. The FIA, which had conducted the raid on Insaf Book Depot, confiscated the pirated books, and arrested Ijaz Ahmed, will conduct the interrogation and try to find out the names of schools, booksellers, and other buyers to whom pirated books have been supplied by Insaf Book Depot.
The FIA will also try to determine the source or the printing press from where Ijaz Ahmed procured the pirated books. Ijaz Ahmed will be presented in court again after the three days remand period and it is expected that the hearing will reveal greater involved in the entire chain of this crime. Insaf Book Depot was cheating the unknowing public by selling them sub-standard pirated books at full price and passing them off as genuine Oxford books.-PR
