Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan remanded in jail over leaked documents

ATTOCK, Pakistan: Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan was on Wednesday remanded in jail over a leaked documents case, extending his detention despite the suspension of his prison term for graft a day earlier.
Khan has been tangled in a slew of legal cases he says are politically motivated since being ousted from power last year.
"Imran Khan judicial remand in the Cipher case has been extended for 14 days," Khan lawyer Salman Safdar told AFP after the hearing.
On Tuesday, another court suspended Khan three-year prison term for graft handed down early in August -- a judgment that kept him from contesting upcoming elections.
