Sindh High Court accepts bail plea of actor Sajid Hasan’s son

KARACHI: Sahir Hasan, son of Pakistani actor Sajid Hasan, has been granted bail by the Sindh High Court on Friday in a drug recovery case, according to media reports.

The accused has been directed to submit a surety bond of one million.

The bail was approved by the constitutional bench of the high court following arguments from both parties. The Actor’s son has been booked under narcotics charges.

According to reports, the investigative officer presented an interim challan to the Judicial Magistrate South’s court last month. In the challan, the accused reportedly confessed to moving drug earnings to a bank account managed by his father’s manager.

The challan further noted that the manager had been called by the court and allowed to explain himself.

He was instructed to provide relevant bank statements and papers confirming his innocence. However, the manager has yet to present any such documentation or financial documents.

Earlier, the police arrested four individuals, including Sajid Hasan’s son from Karachi’s Defence area. The police have registered a case against the suspect on charges of drug trafficking.

According to the FIR, the suspect was allegedly carrying a black bag on his shoulder during the time of arrest, which contained five packets of drugs.

The police also recovered a “digital scale and other items from the bag,” along with a mobile phone and cash from the suspect’s possession.
