ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan appeared on Tuesday before an anti-terrorism court (ATC) hearing four cases against him.
Imran, through his counsel, surrendered himself before the ATC, which had issued non-bailable warrants against him and declared him a proclaimed offender as he had not appeared in a single hearing.
The ATC approved the PTI chairman’s bail for Rs200, 000 in each case. The hearing was then adjourned until November 24.
Speaking to the media, Imran said that the party was peacefully protesting (in 2014) for transparent elections but terrorism case was lodged against them.
The court ATC is hearing three cases regarding the attack on the then Islamabad Operations SSP Asmatullah Junejo and state buildings during the 2014 protest sit-in by PTI and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT).
The two ‘political cousins’, Imran and PAT chief Tahirul Qadri, face charges of destroying property in the Red Zone, attacking the state TV channel’s building and injuring SSP Junejo. INP
