A local court on Monday handed over Khawar Maneka, the former husband of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan's wife, Bushra Bibi, to the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Punjab on a one-day transit remand.
Earlier, the ACE Punjab produced Maneka before Judicial Magistrate Imran Abid in district courts.
ACE prosecutor submitted that Maneka had been arrested in connection with charges of illegally occupying Auqaf Department's land in Haveli Lakha, Okara district, and constructing shops and a marriage hall on it.
He submitted that an inquiry was under way on a reference filed by the authorities in this regard.
He pleaded the court to grant transit remand of Maneka for producing him before the court concerned in Okara.
At this, the court granted a one-day transit remand of Maneka, ordering to produce him before the court concerned today (Tuesday).
It is pertinent to mention here that Maneka was detained by the Federal Investigation Agency and handed over to ACE Punjab when he was trying to leave for Dubai from Allama Iqbal International Airport, earlier in the day.
