LAHORE, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Jun, 2026) An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Friday sent Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Ghulam Mohiuddin Dewan to jail on judicial remand in a case relating to alleged incendiary speeches, rioting and arson at Sherpao Bridge during the May 9 unrest.

ATC Judge Manzer Ali Gill heard the police plea seeking an extension in the accused's physical remand. Ghulam Mohiuddin Dewan was produced before the court after completion of his six-day physical remand.

The court questioned the investigating officer, asking what recovery or progress had been made despite the accused having remained in custody for 16 days.

The investigating officer informed the court that Dewan was present at the scene and was allegedly involved in delivering speeches and participating in acts of arson and vandalism at Sherpao Bridge.

After hearing the arguments, the court declined the request for further physical remand and ordered that Ghulam Mohiuddin Dewan be sent to jail on a 14-day judicial remand.
