KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Wednesday granted protective bail to K-Electric Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Syed Moonis Alvi against two cases relating to electrocution deaths in the metropolis.
The court also granted protective bail to KE Chief Distribution Officer (CDO) Amer Zia. The SHC bench has approved bails against surety bonds of Rs50,000 each.
The court has directed both the accused to cooperate with concerned authorities in the investigation related to the deaths.
The CEO K-Electric moved SHC after police registered a first information report (FIR) on Wednesday against four K-Electric officials, including its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Moonis Alvi, over the death of 19-year-old Faizan Ahmed due to electrocution.
The incident occurred on the morning of August 11 in Karachi’s DHA Phase 7-Extention area.
A day earlier, the Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Gulzar Ahmed expressed displeasure over prolonged power cuts and ordered to put the name of K-Electric Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Monis Alvi on Exit Control List (ECL).
