RAWALPINDI:
A banking court on Monday extended the judicial remand of model Ayyan Ali in the money laundering case.
The model also filed a bail application through her counsel Khurram Latif Khosa. The court while accepting the application for hearing issued a notice to Pakistan Customs investigators.
When the model was produced before the court of Judge Sabir Sultan, her lawyer told the court that customs authorities were deliberately not submitting the charge-sheet against her client.
When asked by the court whether the charge-sheet was complete, customs authorities replied in the negative, drawing the judge’s ire, who said their investigation was slower than the police’s.
The court also attached the Customs Department’s application regarding registration of a money laundering case against the model.
The customs officials pleaded the court to extend the judicial remand of the suspect which was accepted. The next hearing will take place on May 25.
