Lahore: In a recent development, a Lahore Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) has extended the interim bail of PTI leader Asad Umar until June 13 in connection with the vandalism case at Lahore's Askari Tower.
Umar's bail plea, backed by surety bonds worth Rs100,000, was accepted by the court, which also instructed him to cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
During the hearing, Umar's legal counsel emphasized that his client was in Islamabad on the day of the alleged incident and had no involvement in the offense in question.
