ISLAMABAD: A District and Session Court granted five days’ physical remand of Dr. Shahid Masood to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Saturday in a case pertaining to alleged financial irregularities in the state-owned television.
A team of FIA produced television anchor Dr. Shahid Masood before the court today and pleaded for 10 days’ physical remand of Masood for investigation of the case.
The judge granted five days’ physical remand of Masood to FIA and ordered the investigation agency to produce him before the court after completion of the remand period.
The investigation agency had arrested Dr Shahid Masood from court premises on Friday after Islamabad High Court (IHC) dismissed his bail petition.
Masood had filed a plea in IHC after his interim bail period expired yesterday. He appeared before the court to get bail in Rs38 million PTV misappropriation case.
The FIA arrested Masood after Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kiyani of IHC dismissed his petition for pre-arrest bail.
Shahid Masood is accused of involvement in a case pertaining to the alleged financial irregularities in the state-owned Pakistan Television.
Earlier, a district court of Islamabad had issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Masood on the request of FIA but he had obtained an interim pre-arrest bail. But a special court of FIA had refused to confirm his interim bail in October.
