The court also directed Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s top anti-graft department to complete the legal requirements within a week.
During the hearing, Station House Officer (SHO) Bani Gala Police Station Ashfaq Warraich requested the court to grant judicial remand to allow ACE officials to take Qaiser into custody for further inquiry.
Qaiser’s lawyer, Shoaib Shaheen while arguing before the court said that Islamabad fell outside the jurisdiction of ACE Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
