An accountability court in Lahore has sent Opposition Leader in National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif to jail on a judicial remand.

Accountability judge Syed Najmul Hasan heard the case.
NAB prosecutor Waris Ali Janjua apprised the court of the investigation's progress and requested a further 15-day extension in Shahbaz Sharif's physical remand.

The request was turned down by the court.
