What happened: Zahir Zakir Jaffer, the main culprit in the Noor Mukadam murder case, declined to sign a power of attorney that would have allowed him to be represented by a lawyer of his choosing on Wednesday. Details: During the hearing for cross-examination of witnesses Head Constable Jabir, computer operator Mudassir, ASI Dost Muhammad, and Dr Shazia, Zahir refused to sign the power of attorney. A relative of the accused recommended the counsel. It’s worth noting that Zahir had previously refused to accept a public prosecutor appointed by the court. Despite the judge’s orders, Zahir refused to sign the papers and refused to appoint Amjad as his lawyer, claiming that, “”He is not my lawyer. I won’t sign. My lawyer is Babar, who is a barrister and he is coming.” What else: The accused’s lawyer also submitted a plea asking for the whole record of the CCTV footage that was published on social media, a week ago. They also asked the court to order an investigation into the leak.
