On Saturday, a district and sessions court in Lahore granted the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) a two-day physical remand of PTI’s senior leader Hamid Zaman in a case related to prohibited funding. FIA prosecutor Munim Bashir Chaudhry said: “The remand is required to complete the investigation.” The court, however, granted the FIA a two-day physical remand of Zaman and directed the investigation officer to submit a progress report on the probe on October 10. “As per the record, Hamid Zaman is suspected of receiving prohibited funding,” remarked the judge.
