Earlier, the NAB had sought a 14-day physical remand of Ex-PM Imran Khan, who was produced in court amid tight security. The NAB had requested a 14-day physical remand of former prime minister Imran Khan, which is the maximum allowed in the law.
Imran Khan was arrested on Tuesday by Rangers personnel from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on the orders of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in relation to the Al-Qadir Trust case, which alleges that Ex-PM, along with his wife and other PTI leaders, had made a settlement between the PTI government and a property tycoon, which caused a loss of nearly £190 billion to the national exchequer.
