KARACHI: An antiterrorism court summoned on Wednesday a judicial magistrate to record his testimony about a ‘confession’ of alleged Lyari kingpin Uzair Baloch about kidnapping and murder of two Rangers personnel.
Baloch, the chief of the defunct Peoples Amn Committee, faces dozens of case of murder, kidnapping, extortion and terrorism pending before the sessions’ and antiterrorism courts in Karachi.
Since January 2021, he has been acquitted in around 21 cases.
On Wednesday, the ATC-XVI judge was set to record the testimony of judicial magistrate Syed Imran Imam Zaidi, who had purportedly recorded confessional statement of Uzair in the present case in 2016.
