Counsel for NAB told the court that Dr Asim was in the custody of NAB.

Dr Asim said during the hearing that “ I am under detention since 120 days. I was arrested on August 27 and it is wrong to say that investigation was not conducted when I was in the custody of Rangers. I should not be sent on further physical remand. Physical remand will be injustice to me.”
