According to the lawyer, after being discharged by the court, the police said that they will take him to jail and release him from there.
Lawyer Ansir Kayani argued that the accused have been locked up in the Bakshi Khana in Kachhari and the ATC is not presenting them in the court, the accused have been kept locked in the car, four other people have been arrested who are some of the accused. There are relatives, the police created a drama and said that there was a conspiracy in the car, the police do not have any evidence that these accused have conspired in the car.
The lawyer said that earlier the same accused were remanded for eleven days in other two cases and then you remanded them for two days in this case.
During the hearing, the court asked the prosecutor why he wanted physical remand, the prosecutor told that further investigation is to be done. The judge inquired that two-day physical remand was given, now why should I give what is to be recovered?

**Interview with Legal Expert, Dr. Sara Iqbal, on the Judicial Proceedings of 86 Accused in Islamabad**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Iqbal. As we know, 86 individuals, including two MPs, police, and rescue personnel, have been sent to jail on judicial remand after attempting to escape from a police van. What are your thoughts on this unusual case?
**Dr. Iqbal:** Thank you for having me. This situation is quite complex and highlights significant legal and procedural issues. The fact that such a large group includes MPs and law enforcement raises serious questions about accountability and conduct.
**Interviewer:** Indeed. The lawyer for the accused, Ansir Kayani, claims they were exonerated due to previous bail under cases 906 and 909, suggesting that judicial processes might not have been properly followed. How do you interpret this argument?
**Dr. Iqbal:** Mr. Kayani’s assertion points to potential lapses in the judicial process. If the accused had indeed been granted bail and discharged, then the legal basis for their recent detention may be called into question. This could lead to appeals or even further scrutiny into the conduct of law enforcement in handling this case.
**Interviewer:** Given the involvement of MPs and police personnel, what implications could this have for public trust in the legal system?
**Dr. Iqbal:** The involvement of such prominent figures can significantly impact public perception. It underscores a need for transparency and accountability within our legal institutions. If the public feels that the law is being applied unevenly or that those in power are protected, it could lead to widespread disillusionment.
**Interviewer:** What steps do you think the courts might take in light of these complexities?
**Dr. Iqbal:** The court will likely review the legal arguments presented regarding the prior bail and the circumstances under which these individuals were detained. Depending on their findings, we might see either a reaffirmation of the judicial remand or, conversely, a release of the accused if earlier legal provisions are deemed violated.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Iqbal, for your insights. It will be interesting to see how this case unfolds and its broader implications on the legal landscape in Pakistan.
**Dr. Iqbal:** Thank you for having me—it is indeed a critical moment for our judicial system.
