Imran Khan granted bail in treason, vandalism case

Islamabad: A court in Islamabad on Saturday accepted the bail applications of former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in 10 cases including treason and vandalism during the party’s long march

The former prime minister faces treason charges in one of the cases and charges of vandalism in ten other cases — all of them were registered during the PTI’s long march on Islamabad on May 25.

The former premier appeared in District and Session Judge Kamran Basharat Mufti’s court to request bail in 11 cases. Bail was granted in 10 against surety bonds of Rs5,000 each.

In the sedition case, he was granted bail until the first week of September. The court has also summoned Islamabad’s Kohsar police with relevant records.

On May 25, Imran Khan marched from Peshawar to Islamabad with his supporters to reach the D-Chowk. Several trees and vehicles were set on fire during the march.
