Narcotics case: Rana Sanaullah’s judicial remand extended by 5 days

LAHORE: An Anti-Narcotics Court has extended Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) member and former provincial law minister Rana Sanaullah’s judicial remand for five days in the narcotics case.

Judge Masood Arshad conducted the hearing and the CCTV footage of Rana Sanaullah’s car entering the motorway was presented before the court.

The court directed the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) to submit a complete record of the case in the next hearing.  The court ordered the ANF to produce Rana Sanaullah on 28th August. 

On 1st July, Rana Sanaullah was arrested by the ANF in a narcotics case and the next day a judicial magistrate sent him to jail on judicial remand.

ANF claimed that it had seized a large number of drugs in possession of Sanaullah and lodged a case under section 9 (C) of Control of Narcotic Substances Act 1997.

Both sections carry the death penalty, life imprisonment or a jail-term that may extend to 14 years along with a fine up to Rs.1 million.
