Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed was released on Saturday as an anti-terrorism court approved bail in a case related to the attack on the office gate of a security agency building.
The court mandated a Rs200,000 surety bond from Rashid.
The hearing, presided over by Judge Malik Aijaz Asif, proceeded after a recess, addressing the former interior minister's bail plea.
With no prosecution presentation, Rashid's lawyers, Sardar Abdul Razzaq Khan and Sardar Shahbaz, participated in the proceedings.
In a media interaction following release, the AML chief expressed his unawareness of current political developments as he was incarcerated.
