Islamabad — The former Pakistani government minister charged in the death of a Canadian woman was denied an extension of his bail yesterday at a court hearing in Islamabad, and was taken away in handcuffs. “He has been arrested and remanded into police custody for four days,” a senior Islamabad administration official said.
Muhammad Shahid Jamil Qureshi has been charged in connection with the death of businesswoman Kafila Siddiqui. He says she died of natural causes. Her brothers have filed a complaint with police, accusing Mr. Qureshi of confining her against her will at a house where they had both been staying.
