During the hearing, the larger bench remarked that Sahir’s bail plea should be heard by the constitutional bench.

It is worth mentioning that on February 22, 2025, Sahir, son of a well-known actor Sajid Hassan, was arrested from Karachi’s Defence Housing Authority.

During the raid, drugs worth Rs5 million were recovered from Sahir’s possession. Investigations also uncovered that he had supplied drugs to Armaghan, one of the previously detained prime suspect in the Mustafa Amir murder case.

During the court proceedings, Sahir Hassan denied any involvement in the murder, claiming he had been wrongfully implicated.

“I was taken from my home, and later, the police alleged that drugs were recovered from me,” he stated in court. He further denied any connection to drug transactions involving Mustafa Amir or the prime suspect, Armaghan Qureshi, asserting that he had never sold or bought drugs from them.
