Show-cause to IO in Alvi case
The Sindh High Court's (SHC) constitutional bench on Monday issued a show-cause notice to the investigating officer (IO) for failing to submit a response in a case regarding the freezing of former president Dr Arif Alvi's bank accounts. A constitutional bench, headed by Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, expressed displeasure over the IO's repeated absence and directed the officer to appear at the next hearing on June 25 and explain the delay. The court adjourned proceedings until June 25, issuing a show-cause notice for non-compliance. The bench was hearing a petition filed against the freezing of bank accounts belonging to the former president. At the previous hearing, the court had allowed the withdrawal of up to Rs1 million from the frozen account for meeting daily expenses. Representing Dr Alvi, Barrister Ali Tahir argued that the bank accounts of the former president, his wife and their children had all been frozen. "Based on an inquiry, the FIA froze the entire family's bank accounts," Tahir said, adding that the action had severely impacted their ability to meet day-to-day expenses. He further informed the court that the family had learned of an ongoing inquiry into alleged money laundering, but had not been provided any formal documentation regarding the case. "These inquiries appear to be politically motivated," the counsel said. "The former president is being punished for his political affiliations." Barrister Ali Tahir also told the court that the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) had issued undated letters to private banks ordering the freeze under Section 25 of the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2010, and Section 5 of the FIA Act 1974.

SHC issues notice to IO over failure to respond in petition on Alvi account freeze
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) National Assembly Member Arif Alvi tabled the bill in the National Assembly last year seeking incorporation of Section 89-A PHOTO: PPI/FILE Listen to article The Sindh High Court (SHC) issued on Monday a show-cause notice to the inquiry officer (IO) for failing to respond to a petition filed by former president Dr Arif Alvi challenging the freezing of his and his family's bank accounts. The court observed that the IO had neither filed a reply nor appeared during proceedings. A constitutional bench, headed by Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, directed the officer to appear at the next hearing on June 25 and explain the delay. At a previous hearing, the court had allowed Dr Alvi to withdraw up to Rs1 million from one of the frozen accounts for essential expenses. Other accounts belonging to him, his wife Samina Alvi, and son Awab, remain blocked. Barrister Ali Tahir, counsel for Dr Alvi, told the court that the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) had issued undated letters to private banks ordering the freeze under Section 25 of the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2010, and Section 5 of the FIA Act 1974. Read: Alvi allowed to withdraw up to Rs1m The petition argues that the freeze was politically motivated and lacked due legal process.

During the hearing, Barrister Ali Tahir, informed the court that the blanket freezing of the accounts of Dr Alvi and his family has caused an adverse impact leaving them unable to cover their daily expenses. The court, while hearing the matter, noted that notices would be sent to all relevant parties and their responses would be sought.

Cameras catch jail brutality
A video footage and a video statement by a prisoner have surfaced, allegedly showing severe mistreatment of inmates inside Attock District Jail, reportedly under the supervision of jail officers. Inspector General (IG) Prisons Punjab, Mian Farooq Nazir, has taken notice of the situation and raised key questions: Why were the inmates tortured, how did a camera make its way inside the jail despite tight security, and how were these videos recorded? He appoints Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Prisons Rawalpindi Region, Rana Abdul Rauf, as an inquiry officer, and sought a detailed report. In the footage that has emerged, a uniformed officer can be seen sitting on a chair while having a massage done by an inmate. Other clips show designated prisoners with their hands tied behind their backs being beaten by fellow inmates. In one instance, a prisoner is seen lifting another onto his arms while a third lashes him with a leather strap. This scene is repeated with other prisoners, and one prisoner is even seen being slapped and punched in front of a senior officer. In another separate clip, likely recorded during winter, a senior officer is seen sitting on a chair with others standing around him. A man can be seen beating a prisoner in the lineup from behind. Despite the severity of the situation, neither the administration nor the surrounding officers appeared to intervene. In response to the abuse, inmates went on a hunger strike. A prisoner named Shahab issued a video statement, appealing to higher authorities to take action. Shahab, who had previously raised serious allegations of misconduct, corruption, and abuse in Adiala Jail, is now imprisoned in Attock Jail. In his new statement, he claimed that ever since he filed a writ petition in the High Court two and a half years ago, resulting in an official inquiry, jail staff have harbored deep resentment against him. "We are tortured and humiliated. I have been on a hunger strike for the past four days. Every ward and cell is run like a contractor system. Money is taken from us, and other inmates are made to do labour in our place." He added, "I am not against the jail department or any government institution, but there are a few black sheep involved. We want justice against them." Shahab also alleged that despite extreme heat, trees inside the jail were cut down and used as firewood, depriving prisoners of shade. He further claimed that he had to pay Rs1,000 to each officer just to bring in a book. "I'm passionate about studying," he said, "but we're blocked at every step." He stated that the jail authorities even prevent inmates from appearing in exams unless they file a writ in the High Court. "I can prove every single allegation I've made in front of any impartial officer. If I'm proven wrong, I'll accept any punishment. But what we're enduring now is unbearable. We're being forced into hunger strikes, and we have the videos to back our claims." Following the IG's notice, DIG Rana Abdul Rauf has begun an official inquiry. IG Prisons Punjab Mian Farooq Nazir remarked, "Jail authorities have the legal right to transfer prisoners to different facilities as per the jail manual but no one has the right to physically abuse them. Such behaviour is intolerable." He further noted, "The entry of a camera into the jail despite security is a serious breach. That, too, will be thoroughly investigated. Anyone found responsible will face strict departmental action."
