ISLAMABAD: A sessions court in Islamabad granted on Friday interim bail to former chairman Senate Syed Nayyer Hussain Bokhari and his son Jarrar Hussain Bokhari in a case related to assaulting an on-duty police officer.

According to reports, the suspects have to appear before the judge again on May 16.
