LAHORE: A judicial magistrate’s court in Lahore has sent former Chief Minister and PTI president Pervaiz Elahi to jail on a 14-day judicial remand, reported by mainstream media on Monday.
According to details, the court entertained two cases against Elahi whereas the court rejected the plea requesting for a physical remand of the PTI president and sent him to jail on a 14-day physical remand.
The petitioner of Pervaiz Elahi requested the court to shift the PTI leader back to Adiala Jail, after which his request was accepted and Pervaiz Elahi was sent to Adiala Jail.
Earlier, during the hearing in the Lahore High Court (LHC), the apex court sought replies from Punjab police and Superintendent Jail about the re-arrest of Pervaiz Elahi. The Chief Police Officer (CPO) of Rawalpindi sought an apology from the court stating that, “We want the apology from the court to be accepted.”
