LAHORE, Dec 04 (APP): An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Thursday granted physical remand of 31 workers of banned religious party in cases related to arson, vandalism, and violence against police, while sending 35 others to jail on judicial remand.
The court also discharged five accused due to insufficient evidence.
A total of 71 workers were presented before ATC Judge Manzer Ali Gill during the proceedings.
