KARACHI: The accused of the Dua Zehra abduction case – Zaheer Ahmed – approached the Sindh High Court (SHC) for restoration of his bank accounts and national identity card, reported BOL News.
The court accepted the request for an urgent hearing of the case. A two-member bench headed by Justice Muhammad Iqbal Kalhoro will hear the application shortly.
The petition also maintained that Zaheer has been facing security issues during the case trials and requested the court to provide security to the accused.
Notably, SHC had ordered the freezing of the identity card and bank accounts of the accused due to the non-recovery of Dua Zehra.
Earlier, the court ordered to send Dua to a shelter home in Karachi as she went missing here and the case hearings are being conducted in the city.
The court maintained that the girl should be shifted to Karachi as she went missing here and must be kept in a shelter home in Karachi.
The case took a new turn when the police investigating officer changed his stance after a fresh investigation into the matter and said the girl was a victim of kidnapping and child marriage.
Police informed a sessions court that 24 persons, including alleged husband Zaheer Ahmed, were involved in abducting Dua Zehra from Karachi and shifting her to Punjab.
