LAHORE: An accountability court on Saturday extended the physical remand of former railways minister Khawaja Saad Rafique and his brother Salman Rafique till February 2 in the Paragon Housing Society case. The extension in physical remand of Rafique and his brother was given on request of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). On January 5, the court extended the physical remand of the duo by 14 days. The Khawaja brothers are currently being investigated by the anti-graft watchdog for accumulating wealth beyond known sources of income. Last year, the anti-graft authority arrested former Lahore Development Authority (LDA) director general Ahad Khan Cheema and others over allegations of corruption in the Ashiana Iqbal Housing Society scam.
