Azam Swati Granted Bail in Controversial Tweets Case

As per details, the anti terrorism court judge Abul Hasnat heard the case and accepted the post arrest bail plea of Swati against surety bonds worth Rs 20,000 each.

Earlier this year, a special court issued an arrest warrant for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader and former federal minister Azam Swati in the case of a controversial tweet.

Special Judge Central Shahrukh Arjumand directed the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to arrest Azam Swati and present him before his court.

Azam Swati’s arrest warrant issued in controversial tweets case

Swati’s arrest warrant was issued by the judge due to his continuous disappearance from the court hearings in the case.

It is pertinent to note here that on Nov 27, last year, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Senator Azam Swati, in a case related to controversial tweets against state institutions.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader was taken into custody by a three-member Federal Investigation Agency team from his farmhouse located in Islamabad’s Chak Shahzad after controversial tweets against the state institutions.
