Dharna violence: Aleem Khan gets bail in PTV, parliament attack cases

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Senior leader of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), Aleem Khan on Thursday gets a interim bail from Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in the PTV and parliament attack cases.

The ATC granted interim bail to Aleem Khan against surety bond worth Rs0.1 million. The court summoned Aleem Khan again on April 25.

Earlier on April 9, PTI leader Jahangir Tareen was granted the bail in the same cases.

The ATC is hearing four cases, attack on the state television building, Parliament and SSP Junejo, against PTI and Pakistan Awami Tehreek leaders.

In August 2014, Imran Khan and Tahirul Qadri took to streets in Islamabad against alleged rigging in 2013 general elections and Model Town sit-in. The protest continued for 104 days.

During the sit-in, the protesters beat up SSP Asmatullah Junejo on Constitution Avenue when they attacked the PTV headquarters and parts of the Parliament.

A case was then filed against Khan, Qadri and others for torturing the SSP and five other police officers.

PTI leaders Shireen Mazari, Arif Alvi and Asad Umar were granted bail in the cases earlier this year. The ATC also extended the interim bail of Imran Khan in the four cases in January.
