LAHORE: Alleged land grabber Mansha Khokhar (aka Mansha Bomb) was presented before a special anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Wednesday in a case pertaining to illegally grabbing land in Lahore's Johar Town neighbourhood. 

The public prosecutor petitioned for a physical remand of the suspect — accused of grabbing land and terrorism. 

Earlier today, Mansha was also presented before another ATC in a case pertaining to an attack on a team of the Lahore Development Authority (LDA). The court granted him a judicial, in the case, till October 22. 

Mansha and his sons are accused of illegally grabbing land in Lahore's Johar Town vicinity.

The man was arrested on October 15 from the Supreme Court premises. He had surrendered himself to the apex court and demanded to meet the chief justice.

Last month, the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Saqib Nisar had ordered the immediate arrest of Mansha, however, the authorities had failed to fulfil the court's orders. At least 70 cases are registered against the alleged land grabber, according to the Punjab police.

Mansha has claimed that he has not grabbed land illegally. He has said that he possesses documentary evidence to prove that the land he owns belongs to his father.

The man has alleged that 'false cases' were created against him by former Punjab chief minister Shehbaz Sharif after his son contested the election on a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) ticket.
