LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Wednesday extended the physical remand of Imran Ali, accused of raping and murdering seven-year-old Zainab Ansari and six other girls in Kasur.

The police produced the accused before ATC-I Judge Sheikh Sajjad Ahmad on expiry of his previous 14-day physical remand, amid strict security in a special vehicle.

To a court query, the investigation officer submitted that the investigation was being carried out from the accused and evidence had been collected. However, the court was requested to extend the remand for two days so that the investigation could be finalised.

At this, the court extended the remand for another two days and directed the police to produce the accused on the expiry of remand.
