The teenage son of Justice Mohammed Asif of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) was remanded into police custody on Tuesday following a fatal road accident that claimed the lives of two young women.
Judicial Magistrate Shaista Khan Kundi approved the police’s request for remand, allowing investigators to question the suspect in connection with the incident.
According to the First Information Report (FIR) lodged at the Secretariat Police Station, the accident occurred late Monday night near the Pakistan National Council of Arts (PNCA) when the boy, driving an SUV, struck two women riding a scooter.
