Islamabad Feb 28 (TNS): Senator Nehal Hashmi — who was imprisoned for one-month by the Supreme Court over his provocative remarks against JIT members who had investigated Panama Papers case — was released from Adiala Jail on Wednesday afternoon, sources told TNS.
Hashmi was sentenced to jail for one-month with a fine of Rs50,000 on February 1 by a three-member Supreme Court bench.
A video had gone viral on the social media in which Nehal Hashmi could be seen threatening the judges and JIT members, probing the Panama Papers case, of dire consequences once they retire from service.
“Whosoever is taking accountability from the son of Nawaz Sharif. We will teach you a lesson and lay siege to you once you retire and make you an example,” Hashmi could be heard as saying while addressing party workers at a function. “Who you are taking accountability, will be held accountable,” Hashmi says in the video in an apparent allusion to the judges and JIT members, who have been investigating the Sharif family. “Whosoever is taking accountability, listen, we never forgive, and take avenge of the excesses meted out to us.”
