LAHORE: An Anti Terrorism Court (ATC) on Monday extended the pre-arrest bail of former PTI chairman Imran Khan in seven May 9 riots cases till February 24.
The bail petitions were filed in cases of attacks on Corps Commander House, Askari Tower, Shadman police station, burning PML-N party offices in Model Town and a container at Kalma Chowk.
The court extended the bail without any progress in the proceedings as the attendance of Imran could not be marked from Adiala jail on a video link.
Earlier, the Khan’s counsel asked the court to mark the attendance of the petitioner by making a video call on Whatsapp number of the jail’s superintendent.
He reiterated his request of personally summoning the PTI founder, if his attendance was not possible on video link.
