Salman Safdar said that we do not know what is in the file before you, what was asked during the remand and what was written should be provided to us.
He said that a case was registered by taking some part of the speech given by Shahbaz Gill, public response to Shahbaz Gill’s speech was allowed to come whether it was a rebellion or not, then the police would have registered a case.

Salman Safdar said that the prosecution needs the physical remand of Shehbaz Gul to reach the co-accused. The accused Shahbaz Gill named Maryam Nawaz, Captain Safdar, Nawaz Sharif, Ayaz Sadiq including 9 (N) League leaders in his speech.

He said that this case is a case of 164 Shahadat Law, not physical remand, recovery is not done from anyone else, the police registered a case for taking the mobile phone from the driver, the police did not investigate the TV channel which number the call was made.
Shahbaz Gul’s lawyer said that when a person is acquitted and goes home, it is very difficult to call him back, similarly the person sent on judicial remand cannot be sent back to physical remand, if Shahbaz Gill’s physical remand If given, the case will be affected.
He said that I had come to argue on the bail application, where did this remand come from, immoral words were used during the investigation, the case is based on political revenge, the plaintiff has not been seen till now.
Shehbaz Gill’s assistant lawyer Shoaib Shaheen said that Shahbaz Gul told that they torture me all night, he told that my delicate body parts are tortured.
Shoaib Shaheen further said that I asked Shehbaz Gill whether it is the police who torture or someone else. Shahbaz Gill said that my eyes are blindfolded.
He said that Shahbaz Gill is asked who comes to meet Imran Khan? Does Imran Khan drink alcohol or not? If this investigation is to be done, then go to the jail and do it, why do you need physical remand?
He said that the magistrate saw this but did not see the statements of Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz and Maulana Fazlur Rahman. If Shahbaz Gul gets bail, he will cooperate in the investigation.
