A judicial magistrate granted a three-day physical remand for private hospital CEO Shaukat Ali Bangash in an illegal organ transplant case. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) sought a 14-day remand, alleging violations of human organ transplantation laws and evidence of commercial interests. The FIA claimed that Bangash was accused of receiving Rs13.3 million from an agent's account, into the private hospital's account, raising questions about the financial arrangements.
Bangash's counsel argued that the allegations were weak and requested the court to discharge his client. Despite the opposition, the court observed that the allegations were prima facie correct, warranting further investigation, and granted only a three-day remand. Bangash was then handed over to the FIA for further investigation.
