Kamran Bangash granted transit bail

PESHAWAR: A local court granted transit bail to former provincial minister Kamran Bangash on Thursday and directed him to appear before the court in Chitral on November 6.

A case was lodged against Kamran in City police station in Lower Chitral for inciting people against state and its institutions.

The former provincial cabinet member and general secretary of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Peshawar region Kamran Bangash was arrested from his house in the limits of the Chamkani police station a few day back. Later, cases were lodged against him in Dera Ismail Khan, Tank and Chitral.
