LAHORE: A duty judicial magistrate at Model Town courts on Wednesday turned down a plea of PML-N MNA Javed Latif to discharge him in a case of inciting people against the state institutions and sent him to jail on judicial remand.
Earlier, the police produced Latif before the court in an armoured vehicle amid strict security arrangements on expiry of his physical remand.
Hundreds of party workers already gathered outside the courts complex showered rose petals on the vehicle carrying the MNA and chanted slogans in his favour.
Advocate Imtiaz Pahat argued on behalf of the opposition leader that the police failed to collect any cogent evidence against the accused during the physical remand. He asked the magistrate to discharge the accused from the case.
