A local court in Gujranwala granted two-day physical remand of two accused of Greece boat accident on plea of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).
Accused Mohsin and Sharafat are remanded for two days while accused Shehzad Elahi has been handed over to FIA on physical remand for three days.
The senior civil judge remanded the accused to the FIA.
The court rejected the FIA request for 14 days remand.
The 20-30 meter long fishing boat packed with hundreds of migrants sank off Greece’s south-west coast in some of the deepest waters of the Mediterranean, on a journey which started from Libya and was supposed to end in Italy.
It was thought to be carrying up to 700 migrants from Egypt, Syria and Pakistan but only 104 people have been rescued. The coast guard retrieved three more bodies on Monday, six days after the disaster, and one on Tuesday, revising the death toll to 82.
