LAHORE, August 12 (Online Int’l): A local court on Wednesday has sent 58 arrested Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) workers on a 14-day judicial remand over the clash outside the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) office on the occasion of party vice president Maryam Nawaz’s appearance.
During the hearing, the court has rejected the request of the investigation officer to issue a physical remand of the detainees who have been booked under eight provisions including that of blocking roads.
Earlier, a clash erupted between outraged PML-N workers and the police as Maryam Nawaz reached the NAB office in a case pertaining to illegal transfer of 180 acres of land in Raiwind. PML-N workers – who accompanied Maryam Nawaz from Jati Umrah to the NAB office in a convoy – pelted stones at police officials and tried to break the barriers outside the anti-corruption watchdog’s office.
In retaliation, the police resorted to aerial firing, shelling and baton charge to disperse the infuriated crowd. Several protesters including women were arrested. Maryam Nawaz left the NAB office premises without appearing before the accountability bureau and then came back for the second time.
