PTI Chairman Imran Khan on Thursday secured an interim pre-arrest bail plea in the terror case filed against him for threatening Additional Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhry during a public rally, shortly after he appeared before an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Islamabad.
The ATC accepted the ex-prime minister’s bail plea against a surety of Rs100,000, stopping the police from arresting Khan till September 1. The court also issued notices to the police and petitioner. Khan’s bail will be reviewed now at the hearing on September 1.
For today’s hearing, strict security arrangements were made around the Federal Judicial Complex, which is home to Islamabad’s ATC. Security arrangements include the deployment of additional police personnel comprising 400 cops and FC personnel to assist the police.
All the ways leading to the judicial complex have been blocked using barbed wires and irrelevant persons have been restricted to enter the vicinity. Moreover, an armoured vehicle is also present outside the court.
