LAHORE: An anti-corruption court on Wednesday granted a two-day physical remand of PML-N MNA Chaudhry Muhammad Ashraf in a land fraud case.

The Punjab Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) had arrested the MNA on Tuesday for allegedly grabbing over 157 acres of state land by forgery and fraud in connivance with Patwari Muhammad Saleem and Gardawar Riast Ali.

`MNA Ashraf has been arrested in Sahiwal after allegations of land grabbing proved against him,` the ACE said and added that the suspect grabbed the land by showing Sharif Ahmed Hashmi as a fake allottee of the state land.
