Police requested the court to extend custody of the accused, as they required more time to collect evidences. Police sought 10-day remand, however, the court allowed six days only. On the occasion, family of Shazia and members of Christian community were also present and lodged protest outside Cantt Courts and demanded justice from the court.

They expressed distrust over an inquiry committee formed by Punjab Chief Minister saying the committee was using delaying tactics in probing the matter. They also held a protest demonstration outside Lahore Press Club on Friday evening.
