LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court has approved a plea by police seeking to declare two sisters of PTI Chairman Imran Khan absconders for failing to cooperate with the probe in the May 9 riots cases.
The development came after the police told the court that Aleema Khan, Uzma Khan and PTI leaders were not complying with the investigation and that they were currently in hiding.
The police, therefore, pleaded with the court to declare the aforementioned individuals “absconders”.
Considering the police’s request, the court initiated the process with Aleema Khan, Uzma Khan, Aslam Iqbal, Hammad Azhar, Farrukh Habib, Murad Saeed, Zubair Niazi, Hassaan Niazi, Ali Amin Gandapur, Azam Swati, Andleeb Abbas and others named in the plea.
The court, meanwhile, also extended the judicial remand of the Khan-led party’s leaders, including its senior leader in Punjab, Dr Yasmin Rashid, Ejaz Chaudhary, and former Punjab governor Umar Sarfraz Cheema, as the police had failed to submit the challan against them.
The police were, therefore, instructed by the court to submit the challan in the next hearing, while ordering an extension in the aforementioned politicians’ judicial remand.
