Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 4th September, 2018) The examination report of the liquor bottles found from the room of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Sharjeel Memon has been rejected.
Expressing reservations over the report, the police have decided to conduct a fresh investigation.
SSP South Umar Shahid has issued a detailed report on the matter. According to the SSP, the police have concerns over the registration of Drugs Ordinance.
He said that a special team has been constituted, comprising DIG South and an investigation officer of South Zone.
The report said that many facts were revealed as the team started investigation with the help of CCTV footage. The jail officials were not present on duty as per law. Similarly, a suspected shopping bag was also brought to the hospital room declared as sub-jail. This shopping bag was then taken out of the room which was recorded on the CCTV, raising several doubts.
The medical reports of PPP leader Sharjeel Memon’s blood samples revealed on Monday showed him clear of any element of alcohol.
Sharjeel Memon’s blood samples were sent to two big hospitals in Karachi upon Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar’s orders after liquor bottles were found from his room in Ziauddin Hospital.
According to the reports from Agha Khan Hospital, no element of alcohol was found in Sharjeel Memon’s body. The report has ‘Plasma Alcohol Not Detected’ mentioned in it while other three tests related to alcohol were also declared normal in the reports.
CJP Mian Saqib Nisar paid a surprise visit to hospitals in Karachi on Saturday.
According to media reports, the CJP paid a short visit to Ziauddin Hospital and went to PPP leader Sharjeel Memon‘s room and found liquor bottles from there.
At least three bottles of alcohol, drugs and cigarettes were recovered from Sharjeel Memon’s hospital room.
The CJP when found the bottles asked about the attorney general. When inquired, Sharjeel Memon said that he has nothing to do with these bottles.
Media reports further said that there was no nurse or doctor in Sharjeel Memon’s room on the first floor of Ziauddin Hospital.
Following the incident, the CJP ordered to shift Sharjeel Memon back to jail and ordered his medical test.
Two persons were arrested after bottles of liquor were found from the room of Sharjeel Memon in Ziauddin Hospital. One of the arrested persons Muhammad Jam in his statement said that the bottles recovered from Sharjeel Memon’s hospital room were of honey and oil and not alcohol.
The arrested person said that you can check the CCTV footage. I am a driver and my job is to deliver food to the hospital.
“I am someone else’s driver. My friend is the driver of Sharjeel Memon. I am doing his duty since he is on a leave,” Jam said.
Memon’s servant Zahid in his statement said that he does not know why he has been arrested. The jail personnel is responsible for the place which is declared as a sub-jail.
Meanwhile, PPP leader Nasir Hussain Shah also claimed that there was olive oil and honey in the bottles found in Sharjeel Memon's room.
SSP South Umar Shahid took the CCTV footage for forensic investigation. He said that a legal action will be taken against the responsible after investigation.
DIG Jail Nasir Aftab also said that investigations are underway and an action will be taken against the accused.
