A local court in Pakpattan on Friday sent Musa Maneka, the son of prominent figure Mian Khawar Farid Maneka and former first lady Bushra Bibi, to jail on a 14-day judicial remand in connection with a firing incident at his father's outhouse.
According to police, the firing incident took place a day earlier, during which an employee was allegedly targeted. Musa Maneka was arrested on charges of opening fire after a verbal altercation.

The court, after hearing the case, sent Musa Maneka to jail on a 14-day judicial remand and directed the police to continue their investigation.
