An Islamabad district and sessions court has approved a one-day extension of the physical remand for former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry in a financial fraud case.
Fawad Chaudhry, who recently left the PTI party, faced a complaint from Zaheer Ahmed on November 4, alleging that he had given Chaudhry Rs 50 million and, when he requested its return, Chaudhry had offered him two government jobs instead. Furthermore, Chaudhry was accused of threatening him along with two armed guards.
Following a two-day physical remand, Fawad Chaudhry was presented before Judicial Magistrate Yasir Mahmood’s court, where the prosecutor requested a five-day extension. The Senior Judge, Muhammad Abbas Shah, issued a written order for a one-day physical remand under police custody and mandated a medical examination for Chaudhry as part of the ongoing legal process.
Fawad Chaudhry is scheduled to appear in court again on November 7th at 11 AM for further legal proceedings. It's worth noting that Chaudhry's arrest followed his departure from the PTI party and came shortly after PTI leader Asad Qaiser was detained by police in a graft case in Islamabad.
