Additional District and Session judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka dismissed Swati acquittal plea and framed charge against him. Senator Swati, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges and decided to contest the case.
Following the indictment, the court summoned prosecution witnesses for the next hearing and adjourned further proceedings of the case till October 14.
