PTI Leaders Arrested in Islamabad FIA Seeks Remand Over Alleged Anti-State Propaganda
Hasan was produced before the court wherein the FIA prosecutor requested the court to grant physical remand of the suspect for recovering devices — allegedly used for anti-state propaganda.
During the hearing today, the agency’s prosecutor apprised the court that a 30-day physical remand can be granted in an FIA case.
He then urged the court to hand over the PTI official to the investigative agency on a 10-day physical remand.
However, Hasan’s lawyer Latif Khosa opposed the prosecutor’s request for physical remand.
