The accused was produced by Nishtar Town police in the court of Noshaba Yousaf. The police sought 10-day physical remand of the accused to carry out investigation but the court granted one day physical custody of the accused. The police had arrested Kashif on the complaint of Engin, who rose to global fame for his role as Ertugrul in hit TV series ‘Dirilis:Ertugrul’.
