KARACHI: Sindh High Court has accepted Ranger’s petition seeking a restraining order against government mover changing the special public prosecutor pursuing charges of harbouring and treating terrorists against former petroleum minister and Asif Ali Zardari’s confidante Dr Asim Hussain.

The Sindh government has changed the special public prosecutor pursuing charges of harbouring and treating terrorists against former petroleum minister and Asif Ali Zardari’s confidante Dr Asim Hussain.

Nisar Ahmed Durrani, a Hyderabad-based member of the Sindh Bar Council and supporter of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party, replaced Mushtaq Jehangiri, a lawyer who was part of the paramilitary force’s legal team.

On Friday, Jehangiri had also moved the court, filing a similar petition in which he accused the newly-appointed investigating officer, DSP Altaf Hussain, of conducting an unfair and partial investigation to favour the accused.
