Court Orders Arrest of Former KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur in Liquor and Arms Recovery Case

The District and Sessions Court of Islamabad has issued arrest warrants for former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur in connection with a liquor and illegal arms recovery case.

During the hearing, Judicial Magistrate Mubashir Hassan Chishti presided over the proceedings. Neither Gandapur nor his lawyer, Raja Zahoor-ul-Hasan, appeared in court. Due to Gandapur’s repeated absences, the court issued warrants for his arrest and ordered authorities to present him before the court. The next hearing has been scheduled for November 11.

The case against the PTI leader is registered at Bara Kahu Police Station, Islamabad.

Background of the Case

Ali Amin Gandapur, a senior PTI figure and close ally of Imran Khan, resigned from his post as Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa following the party’s internal reshuffling. The resignation came after Imran Khan nominated a new Chief Minister for the province.

In his resignation letter, Gandapur stated:

“I am resigning in compliance with the instructions of our leader, Imran Khan. Serving as Chief Minister has been an honor for me. I assumed office at a time when the province was facing severe financial and security challenges.”

He further added that within one and a half years, his administration had put the province on the path of financial stability, took bold actions against terrorism, and initiated major development projects under Imran Khan’s leadership.

Gandapur expressed gratitude to Imran Khan, his cabinet colleagues, party members, and the bureaucracy, saying he always made decisions in the best interest of Pakistan.

“Despite challenges, I served the people sincerely. Pakistan Zindabad, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Paindabad.”
