Sahir, who has worked as a model and actor, was arrested on drug possession charges, with police recovering narcotics worth Rs50 million from him.
Sahir Hasan, the son of renowned Pakistani actor Sajid Hasan, has been remanded in police custody for a day in connection with a drug case linked to the Mustafa Amir murder investigation.
Sahir was presented before a judicial magistrate at the Central Jail Judicial Complex, where police requested a five-day remand but were granted only a one-day extension.
Sahir Hasan was arrested on charges of drug possession and distribution. Police claim he had been supplying drugs in upscale areas of Karachi for the past two years.
In court, Sahir Hassan denied any involvement in the murder case, claiming he was arrested from his home and later falsely implicated in drug possession.
His lawyer, Advocate Faraz Faheem, asserted that the Darakhshan Police Station was deliberately framing his client. He further stated that Sajid Hassan had filed a case against the same police station in 2022, suggesting possible retaliation.
