LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court in Lahore on Tuesday sent Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Khawaja Imran Nazir to jail on judicial remand in the case related to the violence at the National Accountability Bureau’s Lahore office during party’s vice president Maryam Nawaz’s arrival there in August.
The investigation officer in the case said the custody of the MPA was required for a photogrammetric test.
In August, violence had erupted outside the agency’s office as heavy police contingents and workers of the PML-N confronted each other shortly after the arrival of Maryam there in a land acquisition investigation.
Many people, including some officials, were injured and around 50 men were rounded up after police fired tear gas besides hurling stones at the activists, with each side blaming the other for triggering the clash.
Nazir was arrested by police on November 7 when authorities stopped his vehicle on Model Town Link Road and told him that the car was wanted by police in the case.
