LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore on Saturday sent Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founding chairman Imran Khan’s nephew, Shahrez Khan, to jail on judicial remand in a case pertaining to the attack on Jinnah House during the May 9 riots.
Shahrez, son of Imran’s sister Aleema Khan, was arrested on August 21 in connection with the Jinnah House attack case — the same case in which his brother Shershah is also facing charges.
Lahore police presented Aleema’s son before the ATC court Judge Manzer Ali Gill on Saturday upon the completion of his physical remand.
During the hearing, the prosecution sought an extension in physical remand for further investigation from the accused. Judge Gill, rejecting the police request, sent him on judicial remand.
Both Shershah and Shahrez face charges of allegedly running anti-state campaign and involvement in the May 9 violence.
