An accountability court on Saturday sent former railways minister Khawaja Saad Rafique and his brother Salman Rafique to jail on 14-day judicial remand in Paragon Housing Society scam.
Earlier, the NAB prosecutor requested for another extension in the physical remand of the Khawaja Brothers. The court, however, rejected the prosecutor's plea and sent the two brothers to jail till February 16.
The NAB had arrested the two brothers on December 11 after the Lahore High Court (LHC) had rejected their request for an extension in their pre-arrest bail. NAB had accused Saad Rafique along with his benamidaar wife Ghazala Saad Rafique, brother Salman Rafique in association with Qaiser Amin Butt and Nadeem Zia of established an illegal housing project in the name of Air Avenue which was converted into a new housing project namely M/S Paragon City Pvt Limited.
