The Judicial Magistrate of Islamabad District Sessions Court,Waqar Hussain Gondal, granted bail in the illegal arms case to media personality Mohsin Baig on Friday in exchange for bail bond worth Rs30,000.
The defence counsel said that according to the prosecution, a case had been registered against the accused in Margalla police station for illegal possession of arms. He maintained that the clause in the lawsuit was a bailable offence therefore, the bail should be granted. However, Mohsin Baig has not yet been granted bail in the case registered against him under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
Earlier this month, the Cyber Crime Wing Lahore of the Federal Investigation Agency and the Islamabad police raided Baig’s house.
There was resistance to the arrest in which two officers were taken hostage and one was injured after being hit with a pistol but as the FIA team came under fire.
