After rejecting Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s senior leader Shahbaz Gill’s plea for acquittal in the sedition case, a local court in the federal capital has decided to indict him on February 27.
The former chief of staff to ex-prime minister and PTI chief Imran Khan is facing charges of allegedly inciting mutiny within the ranks of the Pakistan Army during a television talk show on a private news channel last August.
The decision to formally frame charges against the politician was announced by Additional Sessions Judge Tahir Sipra on Saturday.
Gill was taken into custody on August 9 from Banigala Chowk over charges of inciting mutiny.
