Lahore:A local court on Wednesday handed over a co-accused, involved in the murder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and businessman Dr. Shahid Siddique, to the police on a 5-day physical remand.
Earlier, the police produced the co-accused, Akbar, before a judicial magistrate in the Model Town courts. The investigation officer requested the court to grant a 10-day physical remand of the co-accused for the recovery of a mobile phone and money from him.
However, the court handed over the accused to the police on a 5-day physical remand and ordered his production upon completion of the remand period.
In August 2024, Dr. Shahid Siddique was murdered outside a mosque in Valencia Town. His son, Abdul Qayyum, allegedly orchestrated the murder and paid millions to hire assassins for the job.
