LAHORE – A local accountability court on Saturday extended the 14-day physical remand of senior bureaucrat Fawad Hasan Fawad.
Fawad was arrested by the anti-graft body on July 5 over various corruption charges including the Ashiana-e-Iqbal Housing Scheme case.
The court had then granted a 14-day physical remand of the top civil servant on July 6. NAB had requested for an extension following the expiration of the earlier remand’s duration.
