An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Islamabad on Tuesday approved a two-day physical remand of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Information Secretary Raoof Hasan in a new terrorism case a day after a district and sessions court in the federal capital sent him, along with other suspects, on a 14-day judicial remand in the anti-state propaganda case.
The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) of the police arrested the PTI leader in a new case today, the prosecutor said.
The ATC said in its order that the court was requested for a five-day physical remand to interrogate him in connection with the statement of the co-accused, PTI’s media coordinator Ahmad Waqas Janjua, who revealed about a network, according to the prosecutor.
The prosecutor claimed that Janjua was given Rs300,000 by Hasan to “spread terror”.
