Balochistan Police on Friday conducted a raid at the residence of former deputy speaker of the National Assembly, Qasim Khan Suri, located in the Hanna Urak area of Quetta, according to police sources. However, they added that Suri was not present at his residence at the time of the raid. The police action came after an Anti-Terrorist Court issued non-bailable arrest warrants for the former NA deputy speaker. A senior police officer, told media that the raid was conducted after Suri failed to appear before the court. He said that the PTI leader was wanted in two cases in connection with his alleged role in the May 9 incidents. Earlier in the day, Ali Hassan Advocate, the counsel for Suri, submitted a bail application in the Balochistan High Court. However, the court rejected the application. Hassan, talking to the media, said that the police were hesitant to furnish comprehensive details regarding the cases registered against Suri.
