The bail granted to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and leaders in 14 cases registered in Rawalpindi in the context of May 9 riots, has been challenged in Supreme Court (SC).
The petition for bail cancellation was filed by the Advocate General on behalf of the Punjab government. The cases registered in various police stations in Rawalpindi involve more than 700 PTI leaders and workers who were named and arrested.
The Anti-Terrorism Court in Rawalpindi had earlier approved the bail of PTI workers and leaders. The petition submitted to the Supreme Court includes a list of 57 accused, including PTI founder Imran Khan, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, and Sheikh Rashid.
