Jamshed Dasti remanded into police custody for four days

Former MNA Jamshed Dasti was remanded on Friday into police custody for four days in a case relating to the kidnapping of an oil tanker driver and stealing oil.

Muzaffargarh police arrested the former lawmaker from
Ghaus-e-Azam Road in Multan on Thursday. The case against him was registered in
December 2019.

Dasti was presented before the court of Magistrate Javed
Iqbal on Friday. His lawyers requested the court to order his medical
examination and allow him home-cooked meals in custody.

They described his arrest as “political
victimisation”, requesting the court to dismiss the case.

However, the court granted four-day remand of the accused to
the police. It approved the plea seeking Dasti’s medical examination and
home-cooked meals in custody.

Speaking to reporters outside the court, Dasti prayed that
may Allah Almighty guide the rulers to the right path.

He was shifted to an undisclosed location after the hearing.
