Noor Mukadam murder case: Zahir Jaffer’s remand extended by three days

According to details, a hearing of Noor Mukadam murder case was held today during which the judge asked prosecution to state their arguments to which public prosecutor Sajid Cheema responded that CCTV footage of the incident has been obtained and Zahir had to be taken to Lahore for a forensic exam of the CCTV footage

Following that the public prosecutor requested court to grant an extension in Zahir's remand for another three days.

Zahir’s lawyer, while objecting the extension in remand, said that if any forensic exam is to be done, it should be done by taking photos and no further physical remand is required.

"If a photo was enough, we would not have asked for extension in remand," the plaintiff's lawyer responded.

Following the conclusion of arguments, the court granted a three-day extension in the remand of Zahir.
