ISLAMABAD: A district and sessions judge granted on Tuesday the Islamabad police a two-day remand of YouTuber and anchorperson Jameel Farooqui — who was arrested from Karachi a day earlier.
Farooqui, according to the Islamabad police, was arrested for levelling false allegations against the law enforcement agency (LEA) pertaining to the alleged torture of senior PTI leader Shahbaz Gill.
The YouTuber was brought to the federal capital after a Karachi court granted Islamabad police a three-day transit remand of the anchorperson.
During today’s hearing, the police sought the court’s permission for remand, and after hearing the arguments, the magistrate approved the LEA’s request.
