The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers who protested against the ‘dissident’ party MNAs and stormed the Sindh House in Islamabad, have now been released on personal assurance.
The Islamabad Capital Territory Police had registered an FIR against PTI workers for violating Section 144 imposed in the capital and also included sections for vandalizing the government property.
The workers were produced before the area magistrate, who granted them bail on the personal assurance.
It is pertinent to mention here that a group of PTI workers on Friday entered the Sindh House premises after breaking the side gate during a protest.
