LAHORE:

An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Friday indicted 31 PTI leaders and workers in two cases related to the torching of a PML-N office during the May 9 riots.

ATC Judge Arshad Javed conducted the trial proceedings, during which incarcerated PTI leaders Dr Yasmin Rashid, Mian Mehmoodur Rasheed, Omar Sarfraz Cheema and Senator Ijaz Chaudhry were produced before the court.

However, all the accused denied the charges and expressed their intention to contest them.

The court summoned prosecution witnesses to present their testimony at the next hearing, scheduled for February 20.
