OKARA – A court in Punjab city of Okara on Tuesday approved eight-day physical remand of Khawar Maneka, ex-husband of PTI chairman Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi, in a corruption case.
A team of the anti-corruption department produced Maneka before the civil judge and requested him to grant his remand for interrogation in the case.
A day earlier, Khawar Maneka was arrested at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport.
Media reports suggest that Federal Investigators held Mr Manika and handed him over to the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE).
The former husband of Imran Khan’s current wife was reportedly planning to visit Dubai when FIA officials detained him during a routine check.
ACE officials also registered a case against Khawar Manika, and he was stopped due to his name being on the Exit Control List (ECL).
Manika hailed from Pakpattan and is known as a spiritual devotee of the 13th-century mystic Baba Farid Ganj Shakkar. He earlier served as a senior official in the Customs Department.
The deputy commissioner Okara had sent a petition for the registration of a case against Maneka, his son and other persons in June last for illegally occupying the land belonging to the Auqaf Department.
