An Anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Karachi on Saturday handed over PTI leader and former Sindh governor Imran Ismail to police on two-day physical remand.
The police produced the former Sindh governor in ATC in a case registered against him with May 9 riots following PTI supremo Imran Khan’s arrest. During the hearing, the investigating officer told court there are allegations of damaging state property and spreading terror against the accused, urging for a physical remand of the accused to facilitate further investigation into the matter.
Consequently, the court granted a two-day physical remand of Imran Ismail and adjourned the hearing for Monday. The court also sought a detailed progress report from IO to be presented in the next hearing. The Sindh Police on Friday arrested former Sindh governor and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Ismail in Karachi.
