The judicial magistrate also directed the police to produce Moin Aftab Shaikh in the court on January 23. The Investigating Officer, Anwer Qureshi, Assistant Director of Crime Circle Branch of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), produced Moin Aftab Shaikh in the court amid tight security and sought 14 daysí remand in order to find out links with the local and foreign suppliers besides tracing out the misuse of money.
