The judge asked Mansha why he was hiding from police, to which the accused replied he had fear the police will harm him.

The court after the hearing sent the accused to jail on judicial remand by October 22, directing police to submit investigation report till that date.



Mansha and his sons are accused of illegally grabbing land in Johar Town Lahore. Mansha was arrested on October 15 from the Supreme Court premises. He had surrendered himself to the apex court and demanded to meet the chief justice.
