Crime Intel. Head, Maj-Gen. Feroz Khan, has asked the Johannesburg High Court to stop the police from accessing his seized devices, warning this could expose undercover operatives.
Crime Intelligence deputy head Major-General Feroz Khan has filed an urgent court bid to stop police from downloading data from his seized gadgets, warning this could expose undercover operatives and trigger assassinations.
In papers filed before the Johannesburg High Court, Khan argued that the SAPS conducted an unlawful and unconstitutional search at his Houghton home before confiscating multiple electronic devices, a firearm, and ammunition.
He demanded the immediate return of his devices and any forensic copies already made, identified, and destroyed.
Khan claimed the information stored on the devices relates to politically sensitive investigations involving vehicle smuggling, illicit drug networks, political killings, gang violence and murder cases.
