An anti-terrorism court will indict former premier Imran Khan and former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on February 6 in the May 9 riot cases.
ATC Judge Malik Ijaz presided over the hearing of the May 9 cases lodged against PTI leaders within the confines of Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail.
Imran and Qureshi were produced before the court, where the former prime minister informed the judge that he was illegally arrested on May 9 from the premises of the Islamabad High Court.
“Instead of giving me justice, vindictive cases were filed against me,” said Imran. During the hearing, the police also submitted challans related to May 9 cases registered against the PTI leaders. The cases include the GHQ attack and vandalism of sensitive institutions.
The judge extended the judicial remand of the two accused PTI leaders till February 6 and approved the challans for hearing.
Meanwhile, an Accountability Court on Thursday again deferred the indictment of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder and his wife Bushra Bibi in the £190 million National Crime Agency scam commonly known as the Al-Qadir Trust case.
