SC suspends arrest warrants of Ayyan Ali till Sep 21 in customs inspector murder case

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Tuesday suspended arrest warrants of supermodel Ayyan Ali till September 21, which were earlier issued in relation to the Customs Inspector Ijaz Chaudhry’s murder case.

The SC bench comprising Justice Amir Hani, Justice Aijaz Afzal and Justice Tariq Pervez heard the case.

The supermodel’s advocate Sardar Latif Khosa in his arguments said that Ayyan Ali is willing to be a part of the murder investigation.

Khosa said that there is no evidence of Ayyan’s involvement in the customs inspector’s killing.

Earlier, a local court had issued arrest warrants for the model. Due to her involvement in the money laundering case, Ayyan’s name has been repeatedly put and removed from the Exit Control List since last year.

In May, Waris Shah Police had nominated super model Ayyan Ali,who is allegedly involved in the money laundering case, a major suspect in the murder case of the main witness Custom Inspector Ijaz.

Saima Ijaz, the widow of the deceased customs inspector and the main plaintiff in his murder case, had earlier accused the model of being involved in her husband’s murder.

Quoting her husband’s statement Saima had said that her husband had been threatened of dire consequences for not cooperating in the investigation case of super model Ayyan Ali.

Ayyan Ali was arrested from Islamabad's Benazir Bhutto International Airport on March 14 with USD 500,000 and was accused of attempting to illegally take this amount outside the country.
