The Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president was presented in court today as the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) sought a 15-day extension in his remand.
Shehbaz was arrested on October 5 in the Ashiana Iqbal Housing Scheme case after he appeared before NAB in the Saaf Pani case. On October 6, an accountability court in Lahore had granted the anti-graft body a 10-day physical remand of Shehbaz. The PML-N president’s remand was then extended on October 16 by 14 days.
The PML-N president's physical remand ends tomorrow, however, he was presented in the accountability court today as October 30 is a holiday.
Reserving its decision on the case, the court adjourned the hearing till tomorrow.
Shehbaz was brought to court amid tight security and a large number of PML-N supporters were gathered outside the premises.
The PML-N workers chanted slogans against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and even clashed with police personnel deployed outside the court. Following the clashes, police resorted to baton-charge.
