LAHORE: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Punjab Assembly member Kaleemullah Khan has been arrested in the May 9 case.
According to the Punjab Police, Kaleemullah Khan is the main accused in the May 9 case and was declared a wanted person by the Anti-Terrorism Court.
Police say that a special team conducted an operation in Lahore to arrest the MPA, during which Kaleemullah Khan was arrested.
Police say that Kaleemullah Khan was shifted from Lahore to Gujranwala after his arrest. According to officials, formal permission was also obtained from the Punjab Assembly Speaker before the arrest.
Earlier, the Lahore High Court granted bail to PTI leader Ejaz Chaudhry in three cases related to the May 9 riots and arson incidents.
According to reports, the court reserved its verdict on the bail application filed by Ejaz Chaudhry in all three cases.
A two-member bench headed by Justice Syed Shahbaz Ali Rizvi granted bail in all three cases.
Ijaz Chaudhry’s lawyer, Mian Ali Ashfaq, while giving arguments, said that his client is an accused in three cases, including the burning of the PML-N office and the container in Gulberg.
He further said that the trial court did not assess the facts correctly, while the PTI founder has already been granted bail in these same cases.
