The statement by Dr. Juma, recorded by the Anti-Narcotics Force on June 16 and submitted in the Lahore High Court, alleged that the three accused were behind illegal allocation of 9,000kg of chemical ephedrine to two pharmaceutical companies, Berlex and Danas.


A two-member LHC Rawalpindi bench, comprising Justice Shahid Hameed Dar and Justice Chaudhry Mohammad Younis, directed the ANF on Tuesday to record statement of Makhdoom Shahabuddin after his counsel Shah Khawar told the court that his client wanted to join the investigation to reply to allegations leveled against him.

Dr. Juma, an approver in the ephedrine case, said in his statement that Makhdoom Shahab, Ali Musa Gilani and then health secretary Khushnood Akhtar Lashari pressured him to allocate ephedrine quota of 9,000kg to Berlex and Danas. He alleged that he allocated the quota because Musa Gilani and Khushnood Lashari had blackmailed him.

Dr. Juma said Musa Gilani had pressured him to allocate 6,500kg ephedrine quota to Berlex and Makhdoom Shahab told him to give 2,500kg quota to Danas. He said Anjum Shah, who was very close to Makhdoom Shahab and KhushnoodLashari, also asked him to allocate ephedrine quota to Danas. He said when hewas about to constitute a panel to process his request, Makhdoom Shahab calledand told him that Anjum Shah had complained that he was not issuing orders forconversion of ephedrine.

Dr. Juma said Mr. Lashari used to remind him that he was a contract employee. He claimed that Musa Gilani and Khushnood Lashari did not refer the case of his extension in service to the prime minister deliberately and used it as a “blackmailing tool”.


Dr. Juma, who served as director general of health from June 2008 to November 2010, said the entitlement of Berlex and Danas was 500kg of ephedrine, but because of the intervention of Khushnood Lashari the two companies were granted 9,000kg quota.

According to him, the process for the allocation of quota started on March 15 and ended on March 24, 2010.

Dir. Juma alleged that soon after Berlex and Danas applied for local sale of ephedrine, Makhdoom Shahab, Musa Gilani and Khushnood Lashari started lobbying in favor of the two companies.

He said that Tauqeer Ali Khan, an alleged front man of Musa Gilani, came to his office and told him to talk to Musa on his cellphone. Dr. Juma said Musa Gilani introduced himself as the son of Yousuf Raza
Gilani, asking him for allocation and conversion of ephedrine.



He claimed that Khushnood Lashari, as health secretary, violated rules and procedure while his unnecessary interference resulted in illegal allocation of ephedrine quota. He said Tauqeer Ali Khan was a regular visitor to Lashari’s office.

Dr. Juma accused drug controller Sheikh Ansar of being an accomplice of Makhdoom Shahab, Musa Gilani and Khushnood Lashari.
Wasim Ahmed Qureshi, ANF special prosecutor, told the court that investigators, in order to maintain credibility of Dr. Juma’s testimony, wanted the special court for Control of Narcotics Substance (CNS) to record it, but the court rejected their plea. He requested the LHC to direct the CNS court to record Dr. Juma’s statement.

The High Court, however, adjourned the hearing to July 11.


The same court granted interim bail to Rizwan Khan, former director of Danas pharmaceutical company, till July 9 and directed him to deposit Rs500, 000 as surety bonds.

The interim bail of Makhdoom Shahab was extended till July 9.
Advocate Faisal Hussain, counsel for Musa Gilani, told Dawn that Dr. Juma’s statement needed strong corroborative evidence in its support. In his
pre-arrest bail application, Dr. Juma made no mention of Musa Gilani, he said, adding that it was strange that he tried to drag his client in his recent statement.


Faisal Hussain said it was a politically-motivated case designed to stop Musa Gilani, a popular figure in his constituency, from entering politics.


Shah Khawar, counsel for Makhdoom Shahabuddin, told Dawn that being an authority in the health ministry, Dr. Juma was the main accused in illegal allocation and conversion of ephedrine. In order to save his skin, Dr. Juma had now started blaming those who had nothing to do with the scam, he dded.

Mohammad Asghar adds: Makhdoom Shahabuddin appeared before the ANF investigation team on Tuesday for a second time since his arrest warrants were issued and denied allegation that he had pressured health officials for the issuance of export quota for ephedrine, Dawn has learnt.

A source said Mr. Shahabuddin told the investigators that he was not an accused in the case registered against him because he was actually a “complainant”. As health minister he had ordered a probe into the allegations, Makhdoom Shahabuddin contended.

In his written statement, he denied that he had pressurized health ministry officials to issue ephedrine quota or directly allocated any such quota, the source said.

Its simple criminal case nothinhg to do with Sareiki or Mohajir,as similar to Arsalan no sazish against SC.Both parties are protecting crime.
Defence should be like this crime of Ephedrine was not done if you can?
Similarly Arsalan supporter should say Arsalan has not taken money and not enjoyed luxarious trip to Europe and his innocent father never knew about his buisness?
But don,t worry non of them will be punished,thats the real joy of Pakistan.

Ideally these two cases 1)Arsalan and 2)Musa Gilani should be trailed on Live Television and exemplary punishment should be given to both of them if found guilty,as both are sons of high dignitary.
Otherwise all poor 10 gram puria heroin or money extortionist and black mailer should released from our jails imemediately,and must enjoy free life like Arsalan and Musa atleast.

Of course when you make insensible statements which have no relation to the issue other than trying to hide the corruption as if it is some sort of political discrimination against you, you will get a lot of dislikes.

You been very vocal in favor of PPP and all criminals. Let me tell you its nothing about Saraikis. Why your leaders "so-called" leaders of 18 crores (can you prove that all 18 crore people given them votes?, what about those votes which have been gone to other parties but YET your B.a.a.a.a.s.t.a.r.d ex-PM claimed that 18 crore have chosen them and given the right to govern the country. Yes, right was given to govern the country NOT spread corruption like virus all over the country) are cry and taking shield of Saraiki when they are in trouble.

Have you seen your ex-PM speaches in which he demanded Saraiki Sooba. What a stupid person he is. He talked like a MNA from Multan and from opposition who is demanding.

Has ever, ever he acted like a PM?

I know your ex-PM and his family very well. My home is not more than 2km from his Castle (now). Go in Multan and you find hundreds of people talking about this "Jaeli Peer".

Better, next time you come up with some logic.

Just look at the case. An anonymous caller calls a doctor regarding ephedrine and he agrees to allot the quota without even seeing the person's face or confirming the caller's identity. If this is how cases are going to be created from thin air against those who stand up for their rights then what will be the end result ? It won't be good I can imagine that.

It is a simple criminal case because you said so ha ha ha ha. The allegations are false and establishment is behind the case and it is racially motivated.

If the case was not genuine then why the then PM Gilani and other Govt. officials intervened the investigations time and again?
Why Khurshid Lashari is not coming to Pakistan. He took leave and stayed in London. He might not come as long as PPP is in govt.

The same interventions were repeated time and again with other cases as well. If the alleged persons are not guilty then why govt. is intervening in investigations?

The simple answer is that they did crime but the govt. is hiding and interfering in probing.

Zardari and Co., can't intervene directly and easily the ANF's investigations because the serving army officers are leading the ANF.
