LAHORE – The Lahore Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) has ordered police to complete their probe into the Askari Tower attack and arson cases from May 9 by the next hearing.
ATC Judge Khalid Arshad heard pleas for temporary bail for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders Omar Ayub, Asad Umar, Fawad Chaudhry, and others in the arson and Askari Tower attack cases.
During the hearing, Omar Ayub, Asad Umar, Azeemullah, Gul Asghar Khan, and Malik Ahmed Chatta applied for court appearance exemptions.
Omar Ayub’s counsel stated that because he was involved in proceedings before the Islamabad High Court, he could not appear today.
