An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore on Saturday accepted the investigation officer’s (IO) petition, seeking questioning from diehard PTI supporter and daughter of ex-finance minister Khadija Shah in connection with torching of police vehicles at Lahore’s Rahat Bakery chowk on May 9 inside the jail.
In his petition, IO Naveed Anjum said that questioning was required in yet another case in which Khadija had been nominated. A case had been registered against her at Sarwar Road police station for setting police vehicles on fire.
The officer told the court that although Khadija had been granted bails in Askari Tower and Jinnah House attacks cases, she had not been set free yet since she was still to deposit surety bonds.
On Friday an ATC in Lahore had ordered the release of another PTI female activist Sanam Javed after the approval of a surety bond in the case, but she was arrested again after she came out of the jail.
Sanam was granted bail in the May 9 riots case last week.
