ATC Grants Bail to PTI Activists Amid May 9 Violence Cases
As per details, the anti-terrorism court heard the bail pleas of Sanam Javed and Aliya Hamza in three cases of May 9 violence.
The anti-terrorism court approved bail pleas in three cases whereas interim bail was approved in the fourth case registered at police station Musa Khel Sargodha.
On April 17, the same court sent PTI activists Sanam Javed and Aliya Hamza on seven days of physical remand in a vandalism case.
It’s worth mentioning that police sought a 30-day physical remand of Sanam Javed and Aliya Hamza from Anti Terrorism Court, however, the court sent both PTI activists on a seven-day physical remand.
Before this, police arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activist Sanam Javed in another case after getting bail from the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC).
It is pertinent to mention here that Sanam Javed is facing several cases including Zaman Town vandalism, PML-N house fire, Race-course police station case, and others after the May 9 riots that triggered across Pakistan after the arrest of the former prime minister and PTI founder from Islamabad High Court premises.
