Anti Terrorism Court-V declared Akhtar Mengal, former chief minister of Balochistan and chief of the Balochistan National Party (Mengal), an absconder in an army hostage-taking case and issued non-bailable warrants for his arrest for June 2. When the case was taken up Wednesday by the ATC-VÂ’s Judge Haq Nawaz Baloch, all the under-custody accused were present in court. In the charge sheet, the police had shown Akhtar Mengal as the accused yet to be arrested. Defence counsel Ghulam Shah submitted that four of MengalÂ’s servants were being kept in solitary confinement at Central Prison Karachi. He prayed the court to transfer them to District Prison Malir at Landhi. The court dismissed his plea. Complainant Qurban Hussain, a havaldar of the army, lodged an FIR at the Darakhshan police station on April 5, 2006 that he and Lance Naik Fayaz were going to Sea View on intelligence duty when they were intercepted by Sardar Akhtar Mengal and four or five men and kidnapped them.
