LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court on Tuesday denied Sarwar Road police further physical remand of PTI women including fashion designer Khadija Shah, Sanam Javed, Tayyaba Ambreen, former MNA Alia Hamza and 77 other suspects in the corps commander house attack case.

The investigating offi­cer produced the suspects before the court and requ­ested it to extend their physical remand to complete the investigation.

However, the defence lawyers opposed further remand, saying nothing had been recovered from the custody of the suspects. They said the police had no valid reason to seek remand.

Judge Ejaz Ahmad Buttar turned down the police request and sent the suspects to jail on judicial remand.

Separately, ATC Judge Abher Gul Khan also denied Shadman police further remand of former senior provincial minister Mian Mahmoodur Rashid in the police station burning case and sent him to jail on judicial remand.

The police had secured fresh remand of the suspects after the addition of new offences in all May 9 cases under sections 121, 131 and 146 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) in the FIRs.
