Mohsin Baig sent to Adiala Jail on 14-day judicial remand
The Anti-Terrorism Court has ruled that journalist Mohsin Baig will serve a 14-day judicial remand. This follows a case where Baig allegedly attacked FIA officers during a raid.

ISLAMABAD - The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Wednesday rejected the police request to extend the physical remand of journalist Mohsin Baig and sent him to jail on judicial remand in a case registered against him for allegedly attacking Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officers and injuring one of them during a raid.

According to Business Recorder, police produced the accused Baig before ATC judge Muhammad Ali Warraich after completing his previous two days' physical remand and requested the court to extend the physical remand of the accused for another two days to investigate him further.

The court, however, rejected the police request and sent Baig to jail on 14 days of judicial remand.
