KARACHI: An accountability court on Thursday rema­nded owners of Rufi Buil­ders and Developers, Rauf Ahmed Rufi and Manzoor Ahmed Rufi, in National Accoun­tability Bureau (NAB) custody for seven days.

The two were arrested by the NAB on Wednesday for cheating public at large by denying possession of plots to 415 allottees who had made their payments 17 years ago for the Rufi Global City project.

A statement said Rauf and Manzoor were produced before the accountability court on Thursday. They were arrested from Gulshan-i-Iqbal and have been charged for extorting millions of rupees.
