LAHORE An Anti-Terrorist Court in Gujranwala again sent remaining 21 accused, including ex-SHO Sialkot Sadar Rana Ilyas, on a six-day-long judicial remand on Thursday.


The court also ordered to file the challan of the trial by September 22nd. Six accused policemen including ex-DPO Sialkot Waqar Chohan have already been sent on a seven-day-long judicial remand to jail on Wednesday.
