ISLAMABAD: Shahbaz Gill chief of staff of Imran Khan chairman PTI has been handed over to police on two days physical remand. Kohsar Police Islamabad presented Shahbaz Gill in court of Judicial Magistrate Umar Shabir yesterday. Faisal Chaudhry counsel for Shahbaz Gill also appeared in court.

Investigation officer requested court to grant physical remand of Shahbaz Gill for 14 days for further investigation from him in respect of other persons allegedly involved in offence.
