An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC), on Wednesday, granted interim bail to Zartaj Gul, a leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PT), in connection with a case involving vandalism and riots in Gujranwala Cantt on May 9, as reported by media sources. Gul appeared before the ATC and requested bail from the court.
The ATC judge approved Zartaj Gul’s request for interim bail until April 18 and instructed her to cooperate with investigators. According to media sources, the interim bail was granted based on Gul’s written commitment to appear in the future.
Earlier on Monday, copies of the charge sheet were provided to Sheikh Rasheed, Zartaj Gul, and 59 other accused individuals by the ATC in Rawalpindi regarding the riots on May 9. The ‘PTI workers’ were involved in attacking military installations during the riots following the arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
