The judicial remand of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders Saad Rafique and Khawaja Salman Rafique has been extended by 16 days by an accountability court on Saturday.
During the hearing, the accountability court Judge Syed Najamul Hassan inquired about the investigation done by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) regarding the Paragon Housing Society case. The investigation officer told the court that a reference will be completed before the 90-day marking the arrest of the Rafique brothers, local media reported.
The court directed the bureau to present its report before the court in the next hearing. The court also extended the judicial remand of the brothers and ordered that they be presented before the court on March 4.
