An anti-terrorism court (ATC) has remanded a terror suspect, said to be associated with the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), in the custody of the Counter-Terrorism Department for questioning in an explosives case.

Ihsanullan was arrested by the CTD in an intelligence-based raid in the Malir area. A hand grenade was recovered from his possession. The investigation officer (IO) produced the suspect before the administrative judge of the ATCs at the judicial complex inside the Central Prison and requested his physical remand for interrogation.

After the IO’s request, the judge handed over the suspect to the CTD on physical remand until March 18. An FIR has been lodged against the suspect under the relevant sections of the Explosive Substances Act read with Sections 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act.
