Police report says Sahir Hasan was involved in drugs trafficking
(Web Desk) - Veteran actor Sajid Hasan has stepped in to rescue his son arrested in a drug case, with claims that police detained his son in a false case.
The actor defended his son, Sahir Hasan, calling the drug trafficking case against him “fabricated” and a tactic to shift public focus from the prime suspect, Armaghan, in the Mustafa Amir murder case.
“I strongly condemn this unlawful arrest,” Sajid stated publicly, breaking his silence over Sahir’s detention. He revealed that his son was taken into custody without a warrant, solely based on a statement made by an accused in the Mustafa Amir case.
This statement came after a judicial magistrate sent Sahir to jail on judicial remand, following a request from the investigating officer to continue the probe.
According to an interrogation report, Sahir allegedly struggled with drug addiction and began selling drugs.
The report also claimed that he received payment through his father’s manager’s bank account and that two other suspects, Bazil and Yahya, used to send drugs to Sahir via courier.
Sajid, however, rejected these allegations, stating that when no evidence was found against Sahir, the police fabricated an FIR to justify his arrest.
Sajid hoped that the judiciary would see through the “baseless case,” uphold justice, and clear his son of the false charges.
He also criticised certain media outlets for their “unfair and irresponsible” reporting, urging them to uphold journalistic integrity and avoid spreading misinformation.
