“My client was not named in the FIR, still he has been arrested in the case,” the lawyer argued in the court. “Therapy work is profession of my client and he treats people,” the lawyer said.
“The employees of Tahir Zahoor entered in the house by breaking the door,” the government counsel said.
“Prime accused Zahir Jaffer murdered the victim and than informed his parents,” the counsel said. “The parents telephoned the rehab centre and told them to go to the house to see their son” the counsel further said.
