Sarim Burney sent on remand for 2 days in Human Trafficking Probe
A local court on Thursday granted a two-day physical remand of social worker Sarim Burney to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on human smuggling charges.
Investigation Officer Chaudhry Bilal produced Burney before Judicial Magistrate Khaleequ Zaman. And requested the court to order the social worker’s 14-day physical remand in police custody.
During the hearing, Burney’s counsel argued that fake case was registered against his client and requested the court to discharge Sarim Burney from the case.
After hearing the arguments, the court rejected the request to discharge Burney from the case and granted his two days remand to FIA.
The court also asked the investigating officer to produce a progress report on the next hearing.
