LAHORE: A judicial magistrate on Friday extended the physical remand of three ‘PML-N workers’ for another day in a case of hurling eggs and ink at Special Assistant to Prime Minister Shahbaz Gill on his arrival at the Lahore High Court (LHC).

Old Anarkali police produced the suspects before the magistrate after expiry of their previous three-day remand and sought further custody to complete investigation and recovery of the ‘ink’ used in the crime.

Magistrate Waseem Iftikhar allowed the request and granted one-day remand for the suspects to the police.

Police had registered a case after arresting the suspects, identified as Ghulam Abbas, Attiq and Tariq, immediately after the incident.

Mr Gill had appeared before the LHC in a petition challenging a first information report (FIR) lodged by Islampura police on his complaint against officials of a Turkish company.

Next day after the ink throwing incident, Mr Gill had tweeted that he had no grudge against the perpetrators of the attack and pardoned them.
