ATC extends bail of Sanaullah, Safdar in NAB office attack case

An anti-terrorism court on Tuesday extended interim bail of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leaders Rana Sanaullah and Captain (retd) Safdar until October 12 in the NAB office attack case.

The accused appeared before the court as it resumed hearing the case. Saiful Malook Khokhar, Faisal Khokhar and others also had their bail extended in the case. Safdar also moved the court to exempt him from personal appearance, which was granted.

After the hearing, Former Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah while taking to media claimed that cases against entire PML-N leadership including Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir were registered on directions of Imran Khan. He said government has ended political tolerance in the country and reiterated that opposition will start anti-government campaign from October 16.

Furthermore, He advised Railway Ministers Sheikh Rashid to stay in his limits otherwise targeting Maryam Nawaz will cause problems for him. He also claimed that the minister used to beg to join PML-N.

On Aug 11, violence erupted outside the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) office as PML-N workers and police contingents clashed with each other shortly after the arrival of Maryam Nawaz there in a land acquisition case.

Chuhang police had incorporated terrorism charges in the FIR, after which the case was transferred to the ATC.
