Former Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) chairman Zafar Hijazi has been sent on a 14-day judicial remand to Adiyala Jail.

Hijazi was taken into FIA custody earlier this month after a report released by the joint investigation team, probing Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his family’s wealth, alleged that the former SECP chairman had altered records related to Chaudhry Sugar Mills.
