[DAWN] A local court on Thursday granted bail to Haris and Haroon Rasheed, the sons of deceased Lal Masjid...literally the
Red Mosque, located in Islamabad and frequented by all sorts of high govt officials. The proprietors, Ghazi Abdul Rasheed and Maulana Abdul Aziz Ghazi, unleashed their Islamic storm troopers on the city, shutting down whorehouses and beating people up who weren't devout enough. The Musharraf govt put an end to the nonsense by besieging the place. Abdul Aziz Ghazi was nabbed while he was trying to escape dressed up like a girl. BBC reported that the corpse count at 173, but other claims, usually hysterical, say there were up to 1000 titzup. Among their number was Abdul Rashid Ghazi. Everyone then said tut-tut and what a nice guy he had been...
holy man Ghazi Abdul Rasheed in a case pertaining to recovery of licensed weapons being carried without a permit.
Haris Rasheed, Haroon Rasheed and their driver were released after depositing surety bonds worth Rs 30,000 each.
The duo along with their driver were jugged
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
by a joint team of Police and Rangers from Islamabad's F-6 sector late on Tuesday during a routine patrol.
An army uniform and a handgun were seized from their vehicle.
According to a report published in Dawn Newspaper today, a case was registered against the three men under sections 188 (Disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant), 170 (impersonating a public servant) and 171 (wearing garb or carrying token used by public servant with fraudulent intent) of the Pakistain Penal Code and the Arms Ordinance, police said.
They added that the three men were later produced before a court, where they were handed over to police custody on a one-day physical remand.
When contacted, Kohsar police officials said that they were in the process of verifying the arms licence, adding that if it was found to be genuine, charges under the Arms Ordinance would be dropped. However,
a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package...
they maintained that the men had committed a crime by carrying a weapon without a permit.
Talking about the uniform that was recovered from them, police officials said the two siblings admitted that they had purchased the jacket around four years ago but had not disclosed where they got it from.
