An anti-terrorism court on Thursday sent Khadija Shah, a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activist and former finance minister Dr Salman Shah’s daughter, to jail on judicial remand in the Jinnah House attack case. Khadija Shah and other PTI women activists were produced before the ATC Lahore by police in the Jinnah House attack case. During the hearing, the investigation officer (IO) sought to extend the physical remand of PTI activists for more probe in the case. After reviewing the records, the ATC judge rejected IO’s plea and approved seven-day judicial remand of Khadija .
