Cases against PTI workers have been registered at the CTD police station and Golra police station. After hearing arguments from lawyers, the court approved the bail pleas of six arrested workers.
Meanwhile, IHC judge Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kiani extended the security bail of PTI leader Shandana Gulzar in a case filed by the FIA.

Assistant Attorney General Usman Ghaman said that there was no FIR against Shandana Gulzar. He said that the FIA has called Shandana Gulzar as a witness. The court extended the security bail of the PTI leader till May 25.
