ATC grants Qureshi interim bail till June 27

F.P. Report

LAHORE: Approving interim bail of former foreign minister and PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi in three cases in lieu of a surety bond of Rs0.1 million each until June 27, an anti-terrorism court (ATC) court in Lahore on Saturday barred the police from arresting the former foreign minister.

ATC judge Ijaz Ahmad Buttar heard the bail petitions.

PTI leader, who appeared before the court, said in his petitions that he was innocent, and was implicated in cases with a mala fide intent.

He further said that he wanted to cooperate with the investigators, but feared arrest. “Therefore, it is prayed to the court to accept my bail petitions,” he said.
