ISLAMABAD: On Monday, PTI Chairman Imran Khan made a request for bail in the case involving illegal funding being heard in a special court.The bail petition was prepared by the PTI leader’s attorneys, who pleaded with the court to prevent the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) from detaining Khan. The former prime minister also made the decision to show up in person to post bail.
The PTI chairman was granted protective release by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) last week until October 18 (Tuesday) in the same case, with the understanding that Khan will file a petition with the appropriate court. This week, Khan has moved to get bail from the special court.
