An accountability court sent on Monday Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz Leader Ahsan Iqbal to jail on judicial remand in the multi-billion-rupee case.

According to details, the former interior minister was produced before the AC by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). The anti-corruption watchdog requested the court to extend Ahsan Iqbal’s physical remand.

The AC said in its remarks that a 28-day physical remand of the PML-N leader is already completed and inquired that whether a 90-day remand is required.

The NAB replied that Ahsan Iqbal was arrested on December 23 and investigations are still ongoing. Statements of witnesses were recorded after his detainment, the anti-graft body said.

The request by the NAB was rejected.
