An anti-terrorism court on Wednesday rejected bail of Mian Tariq, a prime accused in the judge video scandal case.
Verdict in the plea of Mian Tariq, seeking bail on the medical grounds was reserved on Tuesday.
The verdict was pronounced by ATC Judge Rana Javad Abbas.
In the last hearing of the plea, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had opposed provision of bail to Mian Tariq on medical grounds.

Addressing a press conference alongside top PML-N leadership on July 6, Maryam Nawaz had shown reporters a video in which accountability court judge Arshad Malik can be heard saying that there was “no proof of corruption against the deposed premier” in the Al-Azizia reference.
Judge Arshad Malik, who sentenced former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to jail, had denied Maryam Nawaz’s allegations that the judge was blackmailed into convicting Nawaz without any evidence.
