A session court in Gujarat district on Tuesday declared former federal minister Chaudhry Moonis Elahi a proclaimed offender in a double murder case.
According to details, the Additional Sessions Judge, Mian Javed Akram, heard the case and declared Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Moonis Elahi and other accused as absconders in the case.
The accused are alleged to have fatally shot Yasir and Muhammad Yusuf, residents of Chakriyan, on June 28, 2023. One of the accused, Muhammad Akhtar, passed away in jail during the trial.
Gujrat police told the media that Moonis Elahi was named in the case following disclosures made by other accused during the investigation.
The FIR, registered under Sections 302, 34, and 109 of the Pakistan Penal Code at the Mungowal police station on June 29, 2023 (Case No. 23/149), implicated Moonis Elahi for abetment under Section 109.
The court’s decision outlining the case details spans 19 pages. Moonis Elahi is facing another case related to money laundering in the Special Central Court Lahore.
On October 29, 2024, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) sent a red notice request to Interpol to secure the arrest of Moonis Elahi from abroad in a money laundering case.
Special Central Court Lahore Judge Tanveer Ahmed Sheikh heard the money laundering case against Moonis Elahi, Ch Pervaiz Elahi, Zara Elahi, and the other nine accused. FIA informed the court about the red notice submission to Interpol.
Non-bailable arrest warrants were issued for Moonis Elahi’s co-accused, Sagheer Abbas, while the court granted Zara Elahi’s request for permanent exemption from appearance and issued written orders from the last hearing.
