An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore Thursday extended the judicial remand of Khadija Shah and other women for 14 days in the arson and Jinnah House attack case, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

13 women, including Khadija Shah, Aliya Hamza Malik, Sanam Javed and Tayyaba Raja, were produced in the ATC on the completion of judicial remand.
