The Ferozabad Police presented Farhan Ghani, the brother of PPP Minister Saeed Ghani, along with other suspects, before the court in connection with a case filed under anti-terrorism charges.

During the hearing, the court inquired about the allegations and identities of the accused.

The investigating officer told the court that the suspects assaulted the complainant and others, who were reportedly working under the supervision of certain officials.

When the judge asked which department those assaulted were affiliated with, the prosecutor failed to provide an answer and instead requested a 14-day remand for further investigation.

The court then asked the accused about their legal representation. Farhan Ghani and others stated that they did not have lawyers at the moment.

The judge also questioned why the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) had been applied in the case. The government lawyer explained that the complainant was a government employee who had been physically assaulted.

Farhan Ghani, however, told the court that the allegations were false.

He denied committing any violence and stated that, as a town chairman, it is his responsibility to stop unauthorised work.

He explained that he was merely passing through the area when he noticed road excavation work. Upon asking for official permits, the workers failed to produce any documentation.

After hearing both sides, the court granted physical remand of all accused until August 28 and directed the police to submit a progress report on the next hearing.
