The accused were produced before Duty Judge Abdul Ghafoor after completing a three-day physical remand granted on August 3, when the court rejected the prosecution's request for a 30-day remand.
During the hearing, the prosecution requested a 30-day physical remand, arguing that investigators had yet to recover a vehicle and weapons allegedly linked to the case.
After hearing the arguments, the court granted a further four-day physical remand instead of the 30 days sought by the prosecution.
