However, he was granted bail on a surety of Rs 0.1 million on this charge.
"We produced the American in the court of magistrate Zafar Iqbal, who extended his remand in police custody to another eight days," public prosecutor Abdul Samad said.
The US consular employee, whom Pakistani police identified as Raymond Davis, was arrested a week ago after shooting dead two motorcyclists, claiming that he acted in self-defence, fearing that they were about to rob him.
A third Pakistani was knocked down and killed by a vehicle from the US consulate in Lahore that tried to rescue Davis. The American was instead arrested by police and a case of double murder registered against him.
Samad said that the American would next be produced in court on February 11.
