Lahore: The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Friday granted bail to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders Dr. Yasmin Rashid and Umar Sarfraz Cheema in the Jinnah House attack case.
Lahore Anti-Terrorism Court Judge Arshad Javed heard the bail applications of Dr. Yasmin Rashid and Umar Cheema.
It is pertinent to note that the PTI leaders were arrested on the charges of attack on Jinnah House in Lahore and arson and encirclement and a case has been registered against the accused in Sarwar Road police station. Both leaders are in police custody.
Notably on March 1, 2024, the Lahore ATC had granted bail to Dr. Yasmin in the Gulberg arson case on May 9, ordering her release against the bond of Rs0.5 million.
It should be noted that after the arrest of PTI Chairman Imran Khan from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) premises in the Al-Qadir Trust case on May 9, there was a nationwide protest by the PTI, during which soldiers, Civil and private installations were set on fire. Public and private property was severely damaged while at least eight people were killed and 290 injured.
The protesters also stormed the Corps Commander's residence in Lahore, also known as Jinnah House, and broke a gate of the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi.
Subsequently, 1,900 people involved in fighting, vandalism and arson were arrested across the country with law enforcement agencies, while cases were also registered against Imran Khan and his party workers.
Dr Yasmin Rashid, along with other leaders and activists, was named in First Information Report (FIR) registered with the Sarwar Road police on charges of terrorism and other charges for the alleged attack on the Corps Commander's House.
