A Islamabad session court on Wednesday handed PTI leader Shahbaz Gill to Islamabad police on two-day physical remand. Additional session judge Zeba Chaudhry announced a verdict reserved on Wednesday morning after hearing arguments from both side. “Shahbaz Gill is handed over to Islamabad police for next 48 hours,” the judge ordered. Gill was previously sent on judicial remand by the court, however, the government approached the Islamabad High Court (IHC) and successfully pleaded before the court to reverse the decision as the investigators wanted to recover his phone. The IHC directed the session court to reconsider the decision on the sending the suspect on judicial remand to Adiala jail. The PTI leaders including Imran Khan have claimed that Shahbaz Gill was tortured during custody of Islamabad police.
