Dr. Shahid Masood flees court just in time to avoid arrest

ISLAMABAD – NewsOne Television analyst Dr Shahid Masood on Thursday left shortly before a special court of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) threw out his application for pre-arrest bail, and he could not be arrested.

The case relates to his alleged involvement in embezzlement as the head of PTV by entering into a contract with a fake company for earning media rights from the Pakistan Cricket Board. As a result of this, PTV suffered massive financial loss.

The Islamabad District Court in June issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Masood but he obtained an interim bail.

On Thursday, Special Judge Central Kamran Basharat Mufti rejected the analyst's application for confirmation of his interim pre-arrest bail.

The judge ordered his arrest and directed the authorities to present him before the court.

Why me?

If my call is so important to them, why don’t they answer it for 22 minutes?

How come when I want to, but something specific online is the only item out of stock.

When I get into a queue or lane going fast, the moment I get in, it becomes the slowest and refuses to budge.
