SARGODHA: Legal woes of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders continue to pile up as an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Sargodha indicted National Assembly Opposition Leader Omar Ayub Khan in a May 9 case related to the attack on the Mianwali’s judicial complex.
Those indicted in Judge Muhammad Naeem’s court, among others, also include Punjab Assembly Opposition Leader Malik Ahmad Khan Bhachar.
With the accused refusing to admit the charges against them, the court adjourned the hearing till February 28 while summoning the witnesses to the next hearing.
As many as 57 people are named in the case along with 150 unknown individuals in the case concerned, the police said in a statement.
The indictment comes weeks after an ATC in Faisalabad issued non-bailable for Ayub and Senate Opposition Leader Shibli Faraz, and others in a case related to their alleged involvement in the May 9 riots.
