RAWALPINDI: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader, Aliya Hamza, has been granted post-arrest bail in a protest case registered at the Airport Police Station on Wednesday, according to media reports.
Aliya Hamza and five other party workers were arrested in connection with a demonstration in Rawalpindi’s Dhoke Kamal Din district.
The FIR contains charges of disrupting official duties and blocking highways, as well as claims of throwing stones at police officers.
Judicial Magistrate Qamar Abbas approved Aliya Hamza’s bail on 1,00,000 rupee surety bonds.
On April 19, Aliya Hamza, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), was detained in Rawalpindi along with six party colleagues. The PTI leader was brought before a local court in Islamabad and placed on a 14-day judicial detention at Adiala Jail. She was moved from Adiala Jail to Jhelum Jail due to overcrowding issues.
Following her imprisonment, the PTI leader was sent to the Women’s Police Station, while the other employees were relocated to the Airport Police Station.
An FIR was filed against all seven people, accusing them of meddling with government business, obstructing highways, and hurling stones at police officials.
