On Tuesday, a court in Okara had granted an eight-day physical remand of Maneka; a day after he was apprehended by the ACE in Lahore, on charges of raising structures on government land.

According to the ACE, an inquiry was initiated following a reference filed against him by the Okara deputy commissioner. The reference alleged that he had unlawfully set up a marriage hall and 26 shops on a site designated for a graveyard. – INP
