GILGIT, July 23 Chief Court Judge Haji Sahib Khan on Friday sent two officials and a former chairman of District Council to jail on judicial remand, court sources told Dawn.
The court sources said that the former chief officer of District Council, Mamtaz Khan, manager Industrial Development Bank, Mera Jan, and former chairman Gilgit District Council Qalbe Ali were booked in Rs5.7 million bamk loan case.
