ISLAMABAD: A local court in Islamabad on Wednesday granted Murree Police one-day transit remand of Awami Muslim League (AML) chief and former interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed in a case registered against him for threatening the police personnel.
The court directed that Sheikh Rashid be produced before the concerned Murree court on Thursday by 02:00 pm. The Prosecutor told the court that Sheikh Rashid is on a 14-day judicial remand and has to be produced before the Murree court, thus they were seeking the transit remand.
According to police, initially Sheikh Rashid was arrested on February 2, in a case registered against him for levelling allegations against former President Asif Ali Zardari. However, a day after his arrest, Murree police also registered a case against him for threatening the police personnel. The FIR was registered against him under Section 154 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Pakistan, charging him with interfering in official affairs and resisting his arrest.
