QUETTA: Son of late Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri, Ghazan Marri along with five of his associates was arrested upon his return to the country after spending 18 years in self-imposed exile.
Ghazan’s lawyer commenting on the arrest stated that he was confused as to why the arrest took place, even though his lawyer obtained protective bail for him.
Balochistan’s Home Minister Sarfraz Bugti stated Ghazan’s remand will be obtained from court and added that no ‘deal’ was agreed between Ghazan and the government.
Ghanzan is Balochistan’s former Home Minister and his brother Harbyar Marri is the founding head of the proscribed organisation that is called Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) a separatist movement whose primary objective is destabilizing the province.
Ghazan Marri himself is accused of Justica Nawaz Marri’s murder that took place in 1999 and supporting the BLA meanwhile, Ghazan has so far denied this and had been in exile since Justice Marri’s murder.
Earlier, Ghazan said that he is ready to face the cases registered against him upon his return to the country. “My hands are clean; I’ve nothing to do with BLA,” he said. “I was wrongly booked in the murder case of Justice Nawaz Marri.”
