ISLAMABAD: Another case has been registered against Zahir Jaffer, the prime suspect in Noor Mukadam’s murder, for allegedly assaulting policemen and using foul language in court.
Zahir was kicked out of the courtroom during a hearing on Wednesday after he repeatedly misbehaved and used foul language. The suspect also assaulted policemen after he was dragged from the premises of the court.
A First Information Report (FIR) was registered on behalf of Margala Police Station SHO Inspector Ghulam Mustafa Kiyani stating that Zahir breached the court’s decorum by using foul language in the courtroom.
It stated that Zahir grabbed a police officer’s collar when the police tried to escort him out of the courtroom over the court’s order on his conduct. It further said the suspect attempted to commit suicide and injured himself by hitting his head.
A district and sessions court in Islamabad on Wednesday threw Zahir Jaffer out of the courtroom over the use of inappropriate language during the hearing of the case and spoiling proceedings. Additional sessions Judge Atta Rabbani heard the case.
During the hearing, forensic sketch artist Amir Shahzad appeared before the court and recorded his statement in the case. He told the court that he accurately drew the crime scene map of Noor Mukadam’s murder.
Zahir Jaffer again attempted to disrupt the hearing and started calling screaming in the courtroom. “This is my court and I have to say something,” he shouted, with complete disregard for courtroom decorum.
The judge asked the mother of the suspect to come to the rostrum and asked her control to control. “You should teach your son, see what he is doing in the courtroom,” the judge asked Asmat Adamjee. Asad Jamal, the lawyer of Zahir Jaffer’s mother, said before the court to allow him to get him treatment due to his mental condition.
Despite a warning, Zahir continued using inappropriate language in the courtroom. The court directed the police to remove him, but Zahir grabbed a police inspector by the neck when he tried to comply with the court’s order. Zahir was out of control and even four policemen could not restrain him. It took more than four cops to transfer him out of the courtroom.
