ISLAMABAD:A special court on Wednesday extended the judicial remand of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman for 14 days in the cipher case.

Judge Abul Hasnaat Zulqarnain heard the case in Attock jail as the PTI chief was not taken out of the prison in view of security concerns and the Ministry of Law issued a formal notification declaring the jail as court.

Nine lawyers of legal team of PTI chief were allowed to go to Attock Jail while the FIA team investigating the cipher case was present in the jail. Earlier, talking to media outside the jail before court proceedings, Advocate Salman Safdar said all applications were pending, the most important of them was for bail.

He said the prosecution was not cooperating with the court on the bail application. “There is no justification to keep the PTI chairman in Attock Jail.”
