KARACHI: The judicial magistrate (East) Monday rejected the request of the investigation officer (IO) for the medical examination of Dua Zehra.
The investigation officer sought time from the judicial magistrate for the submission of the interim challan. The judicial magistrate directed the investigation officer to submit the interim challan on August 6 next.
Today, Zaheer Ahmed, the main accused in Dua Zehra abduction case, along with his brother Shabbir, appeared before the Additional District and Sessions Court (East).
