PTI founder’s nephew Sher Shah sent on five-day physical remand

LAHORE: An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Lahore has approved a five-day physical remand of Sher Shah, the son of Aleema Khan and nephew of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, in connection with the Jinnah House attack case, ARY News reported.

Earlier, the court had reserved its decision on the police request for physical remand. During the hearing, the investigation officer presented video evidence showing the suspect, Sher Shah, present at the crime scene, which was also played in court.

The officer informed the court that Imran Khan’s nephew’s photogrammetric and polygraph tests need to be conducted and sought a 30-day physical remand for further investigation.

However, defense counsel Salman Akram Raja opposed the request, questioning the delay in arresting the accused after 27 months.

“If this trend continues, the entire city will be arrested,” he remarked, urging the court to discharge the suspect instead of granting remand.

After reviewing the evidence, the court approved a 5-day physical remand and handed Sher Shah over to police custody.
