A local court on Monday sent PTI’s senior leader Hamid Zaman to jail on a 14-day judicial remand in a case relating to prohibited funding after it rejected the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) request for an extension in the physical remand.
Zaman, who was among the founding members of the PTI, was presented before the court of Judicial Magistrate Ghulam Murtaza Virk on the expiry of his two-day physical remand.
The PTI leader was taken into what Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan said was “protective custody” from Lahore on Friday.
