Land grabbing case: PML-N’s Chaudhry Ashraf sent to jail on judicial remand
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) lawmaker in the National Assembly Chaudhry Muhammad Asharf was on Friday sent to jail on judicial remand.
The Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) presented him before the judicial magistrate after two-day physical remand. Judicial Magistrate Kamran Zafar heard the case and approved a 14-day physical remand after the anti-corruption watchdog had requested extension in his physical remand.
Earlier, the ACE arrested the lawmaker for grabbing almost 157-acre government land in his constituency NA-161 (Sahiwal). Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had condemned his arrest and called it “political victimisation”.
