Hours after bail, Pak court sends Imran to 5-day police remand

32

ISLAMABAD: An anti-terrorism court in Pakistan on Thursday granted a five-day police remand of former prime minister Imran Khan, who was arrested formally by police hours after his bail in a corruption case was accepted.

Khan, 72, was arrested by Rawalpindi police in the New Town police station case on Wednesday night after securing bail in the second Toshakhana case and was produced before the Anti-Terrorism Court in Adiala Jail.

The police prosecution team sought a 15-day police remand but the court granted the five-day remand and ordered to continue the investigation inside the jail.
