Shibli Faraz granted interim bail

The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) of Islamabad on Monday granted interim bail to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf leader Shibli Faraz in connection with cases related to the D-Chowk protest.

ATC Judge Tahir Abbas Sipra approved the interim bail for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader, barring police from arresting him. Faraz appeared in court seeking bail in five cases registered against him.

The court granted interim relief against a surety bond of Rs5,000 each and set the next hearing for January 17.

The cases were lodged at Margalla, Tarnol, Abpara, and Kohsar police stations, all linked to protests held by PTI at D-Chowk.
