An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Friday sent independent MPA-elect Ahmer Rasheed Bhatti to jail on a seven-day judicial remand for identification parade in a case regarding attacking Jinnah House, during the May 9 riots.
Earlier, the police produced Bhatti before ATC Judge Muhammad Naveed Iqbal, requesting the court to send the accused to jail for identification parade.
The police submitted that the accused was involved in attacking the Jinnah House, claiming that a video footage was also available in this regard.
However, the defence counsel opposed the plea and requested the court to discharge his client from the case.
The court, after hearing arguments of the parties, allowed the police’s plea and sent the accused to jail for identification parade.
The court directed for producing the accused on expiry of the remand term – Feb 23.
The Sarwar Road police had registered a case against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leaders and workers on charges of attacking Jinnah House (also known as the residence of Lahore corps commander), during the May 9 riots.
