Islamabad (HRNW) An Islamabad judicial magistrate on Thursday approved two-day physical remand of Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, the chief of Awami Muslim League (AML) and an ally of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), on the Islamabad police plea.
Rashid was arrested by the Islamabad police during the wee hours of Thursday from his residence in Rawalpindi.
On Thursday afternoon, Judicial Magistrate Umar Shabbir heard the case.
The investigation officer (IO) submitted the case record as the police requested Rashid’s eight-day physical remand.
However, the judge approved two-day physical remand of Sheikh Rashid.
Rashid was charged with leveling false allegations that Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-Chairman and former president Asif Ali Zardari was plotting to assassinate PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
The case was registered under non-bailable provisions.
