LAHORE: A city court on Saturday granted to the police four-day physical remand of five suspects in Bhatti Gate manhole tragedy case.
Earlier, the police demanded 14-day physical remand of the accused including Project Manager Asghar Sindhu, Safety In-charge Danial, Site In-charge Ahmad Nawaz, Salman Yasin and Usman.
The accused were taken into custody for showing negligence that led to the deaths of a woman Sadia and her 10-month-old baby girl who fell into an open manhole.
The suspects’ counsel, however, opposed the police’s request, saying that a cheque of rupees ten 10 million had already been given to the victims’ family. He also showed to the court a photocopy of the cheque. The court after hearing the counsel allowed a four day physical remand of the suspects.
The woman and her 10-month-old baby girl were laid to rest in Shorkot.
