KARACHI: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Monday ordered that TV anchor Aamir Liaquat and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leaders Farooq Sattar and Khalid Maqbool Siddiquis names to be placed on the exit control list (ECL).
Speaking to the Express Tribune, special public prosecutor Sheikh Sajid Mehboob said, ATC-II ordered Farooq Sattar, Aamir Liaquat and Khalid Maqbool Siddiquis names to be put on ECL in cases pertaining to the August 22 incendiary speech of party founder Altaf Hussain.
The ATC-II judge also gave police 15 more days to make arrests of the absconding suspects, he added.
The court also issued fresh non-bailable warrants against the three accused and ordered the police to arrest and produce them in court in the next hearing of the case on March 13.
The ATC had issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Farooq Sattar and MQM founder Altaf Hussain on September 28, 2016, in a case for hate speech and sedition.
