In a significant development concerning the May 9 incidents, an anti-terrorism court in Karachi has ordered the arrest of Adil Khan, former member of the Sindh Assembly and erstwhile PTI leader. The court’s decision came after Khan failed to appear in a previous hearing, leading to the revocation of his bail. He was promptly taken into custody following the court’s directive at the Anti-Terrorism Complex within Karachi Central Jail.
The legal proceedings, central to three cases stemming from the May 9 events, saw the attendance of other accused individuals such as Haleem Adil Sheikh and Raja Azhar. The session, which took place amidst heightened scrutiny, has been adjourned until August 5, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing legal scrutiny.
This follows the recent arrest of Amir Mughal, President of PTI Islamabad, outside the Deputy Commissioner’s office earlier this month, underscoring the escalating legal challenges faced by PTI members.
