The Islamabad Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) has declared Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur a proclaimed offender in a case registered under anti-terrorism laws at Islamabad’s I-9 Police Station.
In a written order issued by ATC Judge Tahir Abbas Supra, the court announced that Gandapur’s case has been separated from those of the other accused. Non-bailable arrest warrants have also been issued for co-accused Raja Rashid Hafeez, Wasif Qayyum, Raja Khurm Nawaz, Faisal Javed, and Umar Tanvir.
Lawyers representing these absconding individuals—Sardar Masroof, Murtaza Tori, and Zahid Bashir Dar—submitted applications for exemption from court appearances, but these requests were rejected. Additionally, their bail bonds were revoked.
The court has adjourned the proceedings until November 28.
The charges against Gandapur, Faisal Javed, Raja Khurm Nawaz, and Wasif Qayyum were filed under anti-terrorism laws at Islamabad’s I-9 Police Station. This follows an earlier directive from the Islamabad District and Sessions Court in a separate case related to alcohol and weapons seizure. The court had instructed police to provide a concrete report on Gandapur’s arrest warrant, stressing that proceedings could not remain stalled indefinitely.
