Lahore police on Friday added Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act 1997 in the FIR against PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz, her husband Captain (Retd) Muhammad Safdar and party workers. The case relates to a clash outside the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) Lahore office.
Safdar appeared before an anti-terrorism court on Friday and obtained interim bail till September 11. The court also sought a record of the cases against the PML-N leader from the police.
In his bail application, Safdar said police had registered a “false and baseless” case against him, adding that his nomination in the case was politically motivated.
Earlier in the day, a Lahore sessions court rejected Safdar’s bail application in the same case. During the hearing, Chung police submitted a report to the court which stated that officials had added Section 7 of Anti-Terrorism Act 1997 to the FIR against Maryam, Safdar and party workers.
