Aleema and Uzma were produced in the court, after undergoing one-day physical remand, where Judge Tahir Abbas Supra, after arguments from the defence lawyer and the state prosecutor, ordered one-day physical remand for the two sisters. The judge also issued arrest warrants for Gandapur and a PTI leader, Amir Mughal. The PTI leaders have been faced with new cases for violence and vandalism during the protest over the weekend.
