LAHORE, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 22nd May, 2026) An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Friday granted a 12-day physical remand of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.(PTI) social media activist Farhan Ali Awan, who remained a proclaimed offender in the Jinnah House attack case.

The accused was produced before the ATC Judge Shahid Sikandar amid strict security arrangements.

During the hearing, the investigation officer sought a 30-day physical remand, arguing that the accused’s photogrammetric test was yet to be conducted and details of his social media accounts were also required for investigation purposes.

The prosecution informed the court that Farhan Ali Awan had earlier been declared a proclaimed offender in the case registered at Sarwar Road Police Station under FIR No. 96/23 relating to the May 9 Jinnah House attack.

After hearing arguments, the court partially accepted the prosecution’s request and handed over the accused to police on a 12-day physical remand.
