CHITRAL, March 1: Civil Judge Mohammad Shoaib dismissed on Friday the bail petition of former district Nazim and local Jamaat-i-Islami leader Maghfirat Shah who had been arrested recently after explosives were found at the site of his under-construction hydro-power house.
The former nazim has been shifted to district jail from the DHQ hospital where he had been admitted two days ago because of cardiac problems.
He was booked under sections 5 and 6 of the Explosives Substance Act along with section 380 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
According to police, the explosives had earlier been stolen from a warehouse of a South Korean construction company building a hydropower project in Chitral.
It is alleged that out of 700kg of stolen explosives, 250kg had been recovered from the possession of the Jamaat leader which he used for blasting rocks to build a channel for the hydro-power project in Jughoor village near Chitral town.
The explosives had allegedly been stolen by some employees of the company, who sold them to four people, including the Jamaat leader.
The counsel for the petitioner claimed that he had been falsely implicated in the case
