Islamabad, Dec 12 (UNI) An accountability court in Lahore granted the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) 10-day physical remand of Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) leader Khawaja Saad Rafique and his brother Salman Rafique in the Paragon Housing scam case.
NAB, which had taken the siblings into custody a day earlier following the rejection of their petition to obtain pre-arrest bail, had sought 15-day remand of the two. The court instead granted 10-day remand with instructions to produce both the accused before the court on December 22, Dawn reported.
Ahead of the hearing, roads around the accountability court were closed for normal traffic, while police also placed barbed wires around the judicial complex in order to keep PML-N workers at bay.
