Court approves Imran Khan's 10-day physical remand in May 9 cases

Anti-Terrorism Court on Friday approved a 10-day physical remand of PTI founder Imran Khan in May 9 cases.

The investigating officers (IO) asked for a physical remand of the PTI founder in different cases.

Judge Khalid Arshad announced the verdict.

On Sunday, the former prime minister was arrested by Lahore police in relation in a dozen cases, including the attack on the Jinnah House, which were brought against the PTI founder during the May 9 riots after the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) obtained an eight-day remand of Khan in a new Toshakhana case.

The Police formally detained Khan at Adiala Jail, where he will be investigated for charges related to incitement against the state.

The police initially sought to transfer him to Lahore for further investigation, but the Rawalpindi court denied the request due to security concerns.

After the former prime minister was arrested by the Islamabad High Court on May 9, riots broke out. On Saturday, a 13-member team from the Lahore police's investigative wing went to Adiala Jail to question him about the events.

Imran Khan is scheduled to appear before the Anti-Terrorism Court in Lahore via video link on Monday, where the police are expected to request his remand for further investigation related to the Jinnah House incident.
