Denying all murder charges leveled against him, Lyari's gangster Uzair Jan Baloch has said that he did not record any confessional statement.

During his appearance before an anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Monday, Baloch denied recording statement under section 164 of Criminal Procedure Code. The ATC said he recorded his statement before a judge and it bears his signature too.

Baloch claimed that the judicial magistrate must have made a mistake and he 'swears to God, he killed no one', local media reported. The ATC said that he has also been accused of killing gangster Arshad Pappu. Pappu was accused of killing Baloch’s father.

The hearing has been adjourned till the last week of July.

Last week, in its report, the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) revealed that Baloch has confessed killing 198 people on ethnic and political grounds. He also confessed to killing three police constables and Rangers' personnel.
