New developments reported in the case against TLP Chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi

LAHORE - New developments have been reported in the case of the TLP Chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi.

A court in Lahore on Wednesday granted a 20-day physical remand of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi.

A petition over the matter was filed by Civil Lines police which produced the cleric before the court earlier in the day, seeking a 30-day physical remand.

According to officials, a photogrammetric test of the TLP chief was cited as the reason for seeking physical remand.

In November last year, Rizvi arrested after the government ordered law enforcement agencies to begin a countrywide crackdown on the far-right religious outfit.

Rizvi was arrested after TLP-led protests paralysed normal life across the country in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to acquit Aasia Bibi.
