Aqeel was presented in the court after the expiry of his three-day physical remand.
The FIA had requested the court to sentence him to seven days of police custody but the court granted the agency only three days of physical remand.
Aqeel is also under a judicial remand till July 30 under the orders of an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Rawalpindi after he was forcibly freed by as many as 30 men within hours of his arrest in regards to the land scam case.
Earlier, eight people who helped the MNA flee from the police custody last week were sent to jail on a 14-day judicial remand. However, three other accused were acquitted by the ATC in Rawalpindi.

My family and other friends bought apartments in 2003. We have no keys and no explanation as to why all apartments have not been handed over to owners some who paid with their life savings. Anjum Aqeel Khan has repeatedly failed to answer questions and to return back monies paid with compensation. Supreme Court needs to e made aware of this and keep him in jail until all apartments are completed and handed over to owners who paid nearly 10 years ago That is justice for the people
My family and some friends ougt apartments in 2002. We do not see work finished on site at all. Project should have finished in jan 2007. No date for finish or handover of keys. Retired people have lost life savings Journalist can go and see the huge amount of work tha needs to be done requiring thousands of workmen
@saeed malik:
Please substantiate what you have stated above. One wonders the Supreme Court has taken suo moto action on the 6 Billion scam (concerning Police Foundation). Are the affectees of this 8 Billion Scam (that you have mentioned above) unaware of the fact that Anjum Aqeel Khan is facing remand with FIA, and what is obstructing them to place their grievance before the Supreme Court ??
It is time for the supreme court and the FIA to start to investigate the BIGGER SCAM of KHUDADAD HEIGHTS, E11, ISLAMABAD where over 8 BILLION rupees hav been taken from thousands of investors for purchase of JUST 625 apartments/flats by ANJUM AQEEL KHAN.
People have paid in 2002 and 2003, nearly 10 years ago and still NOT completed and vast majority have not been given their keys.
People have lost their life savings and have been told lies to delay the final investigation of this scam and fraud
