Gandapur granted bail in check post attack case

BHAKKAR:

A court in Bhakkar on Wednesday granted bail to PTI leader Ali Amin Gandapur against surety bonds worth Rs50,000 in the Dajal check post attack case.

Earlier this month, the security personnel claimed that they had found huge cache of weapons from a car that was going to Lahore from DI Khan residence of Gandapur.

During a security check at the Dajal check post of the Bhakkar police, the law enforcement personnel signalled the car to stop for routine identification but the riders hit the security barriers and fled.

Later, an FIR was registered against Gandapur and two suspects were arrested by the police.

On Wednesday, Gandapur was produced before a senior civil judge of Criminal Division in an armored vehicle with his face covered with a cloth.

The court granted Gandapur bail against surety bonds of Rs50,000.

The PTI leader has been granted bail in all cases registered against him in Bhakkar.

Meanwhile, the court handed him over to Lahore police in a separate case on one-day transit remand.

A day earlier, an anti-terrorism court in Sargodha cleared the PTI leader of terrorism charges, removing sections of terror law in a case registered against him.
