An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Thursday extended the physical remand of Chanesar Town Chairman Farhan Ghani and others by three days in the case pertaining to the alleged assault on a government employee.
Police produced Ghani — younger brother of Sindh Local Government Minister Saeed Ghani — and other accused before the court, which directed that they be presented again on August 30. The court also ordered that a progress report regarding the investigation be submitted at the next hearing.

The case has been registered at Ferozabad Police Station under the Anti-Terrorism Act and other provisions of the law.
During today’s proceedings, Advocate Waqar Abbasi submitted the power of attorney on behalf of the accused, while the prosecution sought an extension in their physical remand.
The judge, however, expressed dissatisfaction with the pace of the investigation, asking: “What will you do with more remand? So far you have done nothing.” The court reprimanded the officer, questioning the absence of witness testimony and criticising the lack of progress in the case.
