Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on Saturday was acquitted in 15 kilograms heroin smuggling case of 2019. This was directed on Saturday by the Special Court for Control of Narcotics Substances (CNS). During Saturday’s hearing of a petition filed by Rana Sanaullah to quash the case, the court reviewed the sworn testimony submitted by two witnesses in the case, Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) Inspector Hassan Azam and Assistant Director Imtiaz Cheema.
During proceedings, Cheema told the court that no drugs were recovered in his presence. For his part, Azam said they were not even present on the site when the drugs were recovered. They added that they were pressured into building the case. This weakened the prosecution’s case.
The court then summoned the ANF lawyer and asked if they had any objection to acquitting Sanaullah. When they responded in the negative, the case was dismissed.
