Author: Web Desk

LAHORE: An accountability court on Saturday has extended physical remand of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Khawaja Saad Rafique and his brother Salman Rafique in the Paragon Housing Society scam case till February 2.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) today (Saturday) presented the Rafique brothers before the court for another extension in their physical remand.

The NAB prosecutor requested the court to extend the physical remand of the Khawaja Saad Rafique and his brother Khawaja Salam Rafique by 15 days.

A heavy contingent of police was also deployed around the court to prevent party workers from disrupting law and order situation.

Earlier on December 11, 2018, the accountability bureau apprehended Khawaja brothers after the Lahore High Court rejected their bail plea.

The NAB had launched an investigation into the alleged scam in November last year after a number of victims staged protests and held a press conference at the Lahore Press Club against what they termed the housing society’s fraud.
