A Quetta’s district court remanded the senator in police custody for five days on Sunday, a week after the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) arrested him in Islamabad in a case pertaining to controversial tweets against the military.
The senator was shifted to Quetta aboard a special flight amid tight security on Friday after the judicial magistrate of Islamabad handed him over to the Balochistan police.
Hours earlier in Karachi, the Sindh High Court too ordered provincial police chief and other relevant parties to submit detailed report about number of cases and their nature registered against Azam Swati across the province.
