LAHORE, Dec 22 (APP): An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Monday granted post-arrest bail to two Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) social media activists, Agha Sheikh Sarwar and Rai Ghulam Ali, in connection with the October 5 protests that involved violence and attacks on police.
ATC Judge Manzer Ali Gill conducted the proceedings on the bail applications and directed the accused to submit surety bonds of Rs 100,000 each for their release.
During the proceedings, the prosecution requested the court to dismiss the applications, adding that solid evidence was available against the accused.
However, the defense argued that the accused manage their own social media channels and were wrongfully implicated in the case.
The case was registered at Shafiqabad Police Station regarding the violence and attacks on police during the PTI protest on October 5.
