LAHORE:

An anti-terrorism court has indicted PTI leaders Ijaz Chaudhry, Mian Mehmoodur Rasheed and Dr Yasmeen Rashid in two FIRs related to the May 9 riots.

The ATC judge framed the charges over setting ablaze police vans at Rahat Bakery Chowk and the Shadman police station.

The court also issued orders for a jail trial of the accused and summoned witnesses for future hearings.

The cases had been registered with the Sarwar Road and Shadman police stations.

Earlier, the anti-terrorism court granted seven-day physical remand of Umar Sarfraz Cheema, Dr Rashid and others in a case registered against them over torching a PML-N office.
