A Pakistani court on Saturday sent incarcerated former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s nephew Shahrez Khan to jail on judicial remand in a case related to an attack on a senior military officer’s house in Lahore during the May 9, 2023, riots.

Shahrez, an international athlete, was presented before ATC upon the completion of his physical remand.

“The prosecutor sought a further 30-day physical custody of Shahrez, while his counsel urged the court to discharge his client from the case as he was in Chitral, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on May 9, 2023,” a court official said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
