An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Monday granted post-arrest bail to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Mian Akram Usman in the case related to an attack on Islamabad police officers at Zaman Park.
ATC Judge Arshad Javed conducted the hearing and approved the bail application, directing the accused to submit surety bonds worth Rs 200,000 for his release.
During the proceedings, PTI leader Salman Akram Raja, Advocate, presented arguments in favor of the bail and requested the court to release Mian Akram Usman.
The case was registered at Race Course Police Station, alleging that Mian Akram Usman and others attacked Islamabad police officers. The police had visited Zaman Park to serve summons to the PTI founder when the incident occurred.
Separately, an anti-terrorism court granted post-arrest bail to two Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) social media activists, Agha Sheikh Sarwar and Rai Ghulam Ali, in connection with the October 5 protests that involved violence and attacks on police.
ATC Judge Manzer Ali Gill conducted the proceedings on the bail applications and directed the accused to submit surety bonds of Rs 100,000 each for their release.
During the proceedings, the prosecution requested the court to dismiss the applications, adding that solid evidence was available against the accused.
However, the defense argued that the accused manage their own social media channels and were wrongfully implicated in the case.
The case was registered at Shafiqabad Police Station regarding the violence and attacks on police during the PTI protest on October 5.
