Islamabad Police to Produce Sheikh Rashid before Court Today

ISLAMABAD: The capital police will produce Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed in a local court as his two-day physical remand in a case related to against former president Asif Ali Zardari ended today (Saturday).

The former interior minister, who is also a close ally of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, will be produced before Judicial Magistrate Omar Shabbir. The investigators would brief the court about Mr Ahmed’s voice-matching and photogrammetric tests.

The AML chief was arrested by the Islamabad police in the early hours of Thursday from his home in a private housing society in the capital city.

A case was registered against Sheikh Rashid on a complaint lodged by the vice president of PPP’s Rawalpindi chapter at the Aabpara police station. In a talk show, the complainant said the AML chief accused the PPP co-chairman of having hatched a plan to use terrorists to assassinate PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
