| A relative of Rashid Rauf, the alleged mastermind behind the plot to blow up British airliners, filed a petition in the Rawalpindi Bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Tuesday requesting that he be produced before the court and the details of the ongoing investigation against him be made public. Zahoor Akhtar, the brother-in-law of Rauf's mother, has filed the petition under Article 199 of the Constitution and has asked the court to release Rauf, as the investigation against him has so far failed to unearth any direct evidence linking him with the terror plot. The petitioner's counsel, Hashmat Habib, told Daily Times that the preliminary hearing of the case was expected to be held on next Friday. |
