\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

An anti-corruption court in Lahore issued on Saturday a notice to the\u00a0Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) and sought a reply in the case of\u00a0anchorperson Imran Riaz’s arrest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Judge Safdar Ali Bhatti took up the journalist\u2019s bail plea, where Imran\u2019s counsel contended that a false and baseless case was filed against his client.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lawyer, while highlighting ACE\u2019s failure to present any evidence against Imran, urged the court to order the journalist\u2019s release on bail.<\/span><\/p>\n

The judge then issued a notice to ACE and sought a response, adjourning the hearing till February 26.<\/span><\/p>\n

Imran was apprehended from his residence in Lahore on Friday. According to anti-corruption officials, both Imran and his father stand accused of acquiring the Tharabi Lake contract at a significantly reduced price.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Lahore district and sessions court rejected yesterday the request for Imran\u2019s physical remand<\/a> by ACE, instead sending the anchorperson to jail on judicial remand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier, the FIA Cyber Wing issued notices<\/a> for inquiry to journalists Asad Toor\u00a0and Imran Riaz Khan, asking them to appear before the Cyber Crime Reporting Centre in Islamabad, and the Cyber Crime Wing office in Lahore, respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
