Islamabad Court suspends Shahbaz Gill physical remand

*ISLAMABAD: An Islamabad court on Friday suspended physical remand of PTI leader Shahbaz Gill until Monday after reserving verdict **on a police plea for his eight-day physical remand in a case under sedition charges. *

The court while rejecting the plea of extension in physical remand, directed the Islamabad police to transfer him to PIMS Hospital and conduct a complete medical check-up of the suspect.

The session judge Raja Farrukh Ali wondered if Gill was in a healthy condition then why he was brought in an ambulance. “The physical remand of Gill has not yet begun,” he said while rejecting a plea from PTI leaders that his remand has been completed.

The Islamabad police on Friday sought eight-day physical remand of PTI leader Shahbaz Gill with his counsel arguing against it, saying that if approved it would threaten Gill’s life.

The PTI leader was presented before the judicial magistrate Raja Farrukh Ali Khan for an extension in his physical remand.
