Terror case: Ex-Pakistan PM Imran Khan secures transit bail till Aug 25
Islamabad: Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan has secured transit bail for three days till Aug 25 after he filed a pre-arrest bail application in the Islamabad High Court earlier to avoid arrest in a terror case filed against him last (Sunday) night.
A first information report (FIR) was registered against former prime minister Khan under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) for threatening an additional sessions judge and senior police officers of the Islamabad Police at a rally in the federal capital’s F-9 Park, Geo News reported.
PTI lawyer Faisal Chaudhry and Babar Awan had filed the plea on the former PM's behalf, who maintained in the plea that he is ready to appear before the court whenever summoned.
The plea mentioned that Imran Khan, who was ousted from power earlier this year after a no-confidence motion was passed against him, has no criminal record from the past and has never been convicted for any offence.
“There is no chance of fleeing or damaging evidence presented by the prosecution. Imran Khan is also ready to submit money as surety against his bail,” the plea stated as quoted by Geo News.
