LAHORE (Dunya News) - An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Thursday sent Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Dr Yasmin Rashid to jail on 14-day judicial remand in a case of blocking roads and delivering a speech against institutions during May 9 vandalism. 

Earlier, police produced Dr Yasmin Rashid before ATC Judge Abher Gul Khan on expiry of her three-day physical remand. 

The investigation officer submitted that the photogrammatic test of the suspect had been conducted whereas the voice matching test was still to be done. He pleaded the court to extend physical remand of the suspect for the test and completing the investigation. 

However, the court declined the plea and sent the PTI leader to jail on 14-day judicial remand. 

The Gulberg police had registered a case against Dr Yasmin Rashid and others for blocking roads near Sherpao Bridge and delivering a speech against institutions.
