The Islamabad police on Wednesday recovered Haseeb Hamza, a 27-year-old farmer who had reportedly gone “missing” in August, and presented him before the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
The development comes a day after IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah, while hearing a petition for Hamza’s recovery, instructed the police to present him before the court by 10am today.
“If that doesn’t happen, then we will call each and every [officer] and take action against them,” he had said, adding that the Military Intelligence (MI), Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Intelligence Bureau (IB) all would be made to appear before the court to give an explanation for the “state’s failure”.
An hour before the IHC deadline was set to expire, Islamabad Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Dr Akbar Nasir Khan appeared in the court along with Hamza.
