Islamabad (Staff Report/Agencies): An accountability court on Thursday extended former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s physical remand for another 14 days in the LNG case.
During today’s hearing, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor sought an extension in the remand of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader on the grounds that the anti-graft body has yet to complete the investigation.
Abbasi was arrested by a 12-member NAB team from Lahore on Thursday in a case related to the award of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import contract.
Duty Judge Shah Rukh Arjumand approved the NAB’s plea and granted the physical remand of Abbasi for another 14 days.
