LAHORE:A local court on Wednesday handed over Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MNA Chaudhry Muhammad Ashraf to Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Punjab on two-day physical remand in an alleged land grabbing case.
Earlier, the ACE officials presented the PML-N MNA before a judicial magistrate and requested to grant physical remand for investigations.
However, the defence counsel opposed the plea, saying that it was a politically motivated case.
The court, after hearing arguments of the parties, handed over the PML-N MNA to the ACE Punjab on physical remand and directed for producing him on Dec 30.
Chaudhry Muhammad Ashraf was elected Member of National Assembly (MNA) from NA-161 (Sahiwal-II) constituency.
The ACE has accused the lawmaker of illegally occupying government land through forgery in collusion with the patwari.
