ISLAMABAD: An anti-terrorism court granted post-arrest bail to PTI leader Shoaib Shaheen and ordered his immediate release on Saturday.
ATC Islamabad Judge Tahir Abbas Sipra heard the bail petitions of Shoaib Shaheen, Sher Afzal Marwat, Sheikh Waqas Akram, Zain Qureshi and others. The judge noted that Prosecutor Raja Naveed did not appear, leading to delay in the hearing.
The defence lawyer argued that while MNAs were under house arrest, Shoaib and other PTI workers were in jail. The case against them involves allegations of assaulting a police officer, but no medical legal certificate was provided. While Shoaib is accused of having a pistol, but only a stick was recovered. The judge questioned the documentation about the stick’s recovery. The defence counsel responded that the investigative officer had confirmed the stick’s recovery from Shoaib in the Islamabad High Court on Friday.
Following the hearing, the judge approved Shoaib’s bail and ordered his immediate release.
