ISLAMABAD, October 21: A local anti-terrorist court upheld ruling on arrest of Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan and Pakistan Awami Tehrik chief Tahirul Qadri, and directed police to produce the two leaders among 68 others in case regarding attack on Pakistan Television (PTV) headquarters attack case.
Hearing the case of attack on the PTV and Parliament on Friday, the ATC judge Kausar Abbas Zaidi voiced displeasure inquiring as to why police failed to implement the court’s arrest orders.
The court directed the police officials to present the accused before the court by November 17. Meantime, six accused, who appeared before the court, have been exempted from personal appearance during the next hearing.
It should be mentioned here that the enraged workers of the PTI and the PAT stormed PTV headquarters, leaving the telecasts suspended for a while during a sit-in protest of Azadi March and Inqilab March in 2014. -DNA
