GUJRANWALA, Sept 26: Wazirabad police on Wednesday arrested former general manager of Sibtul Hasan Shah alias Double Shah and got his physical remand from a court.

Shah has allegedly embezzled billions of rupees of people in Gujranwala, Sialkot and Gujrat districts on the pretext of investment.

Sadar police said Shah’s former general manager Ijaz Husain was arrested from Wazirabad and later produced in a court which remanded him into police custody for a three-day physical remand.

The court also declared Shah’s 12 accomplices proclaimed offenders on a police investigator’s plea.

Investigation officer Zubair Nawaz produced Shah and aides Ibrar Husain, Imtiaz Husain and Shahid in the court and urged it to declare Shah’s co-accused Subeh Gilani, Chan Pir, Zamirul Hasan, Manzoor Ahmad, Navid Akram, Munawwar Husain, Abdul Qayyum, Intizar Husain, Adnan Karamat, Sajjad Ahmad and Shahzad Ahmad proclaimed offenders because they did not appear in the court despite repeated notices.

The court later adjourned the case till Oct 4.
