Court approves two-day physical remand of PTI’s Azam Swati
Earlier, the district and session court approved two-day physical remand of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senator Azam Khan Swati.
Former Railways Minister Azam Swati was arrested by Cyber Crime Cell of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in wee hours of Thursday and was produced before the court.
