An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Thursday dismissed the bail application of Pakistan Peoples' Party (PPP) MNA Shahjahan Baloch. Baloch is a suspect in two cases involving murder, attempted murder, police encounter and possessing explosives. The PPP MNA was also nominated as a suspect in the abduction and murder case of a notorious gangster, Arshad Pappu.
Baloch's request for bail in the Pappu murder case was also rejected on October 7. Arshad Pappu, his brother Yasir Arafat, and their confidant Juma Shera were killed on the night of March 16. According to the FIR registered on the complaint of Arshad Pappu's widow, the alleged gangster along with his brother, a confidant and his 10-year-old son had gone to attend a party at a friend's apartment in the DHA on the night of March 16. The boy came back at around midnight and informed his mother that around 20 men in two vehicles came to the apartment and kidnapped his father and the two others. The complainant stated in the FIR that the victims were killed after being subjected to torture. She alleged that the offence was committed on the behest of MNA Baloch.
