On Wednesday, Additional District and Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhary announced a verdict that approved a two-day physical remand of PTI leader Shahbaz Gill at the request of the capital police.
Previously, a court rejected a police request to extend Gill’s two-day physical remand and an additional district and sessions judge dismissed a plea requesting a review of the district court’s order.
The PTI has alleged that Gill was tortured by the police and remains in danger of further torture if he returns to police custody.
Judge Zeba Chaudhary also directed the investigation office to get Gill examined and submit a full report to the court.
Gill was arrested on August 9 by Islamabad police following remarks that he made on television that the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) said were “highly hateful and seditious”.
