A court in the federal capital granted a two-day remand for the politician Fawad Chaudhry, a former federal minister who had been arrested the day before from his Islamabad apartment. Chaudhry was then turned over to the police. The lawmaker was ordered to undergo a medical examination by the court at the District Judicial Complex, and the police were instructed to arrange for a meeting between him and his family. The directives were issued in response to Fawad’s arrest on Saturday, which his wife Hiba said was carried out for no apparent cause. It was eventually disclosed, nevertheless, that the lawmaker had been arrested following the filing of a complaint at the Aabpara Police Station in Islamabad, alleging that he had asked for a bribe of Rs. 5 million in exchange for a job.
