Lahore: An anti-terrorism court declared Hammad Azhar, Zubair Niazi and Khalid Gujjar proclaimed offenders in police vans burning case on Wednesday.

The court heard the matter involving the police vehicles that were set on fire outside Zaman Park.

ATC Judge Ijaz Ahmed Buttar launched the legal process to have the accused declared proclaimed offenders in response to a police plea about the case of the burning vehicles.

The court ordered the issuance of advertising and deemed PTI members Hammad Azhar, Zubair Niazi, and Khalid Gujjar to be proclaimed criminals.

The investigation officer claimed that although the accused had non-bailable warrants issued against them, they had been evading capture. He asked the judge to formally name them as offenders.

The Race Course police station is prosecuting the accused for allegedly setting fire to police cars outside Zaman Park.

Hassaan Niazi's proclaimed offender status was also requested by the police, but the request was denied after his detention in another case.
