RAWALPINDI: A court has granted a 14-day judicial remand of former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan in 12 cases related to the May 9 riots.

The case was heard by Anti-Terrorism Court Judge Malik Ijaz Asif at Adiala Jail on Thursday. The Rawalpindi police beseeched the court to grant a 30-day physical remand of Imran Khan.

But the court rejected their plea and granted a 14-day judicial remand of the former premier in 12 cases of terrorism related to May 9 violence.
