May 9 cases proceedings held at Kot Lakhpat Jail

Jail trial proceedings were held at Kot Lakhpat Jail on Monday in two separate cases against PTI leaders and workers, including the burning of police vehicles in the Gulberg during May-9 violence.

Anti-Terrorism Court Judge Arshad Javed presided over the hearings, wherein defence lawyers partially cross-examined five prosecution witnesses in the case of burning police vehicles in Gulberg. In a related case regarding the burning of a container outside National Park in Gulberg, one witness recorded a statement.

The court has adjourned further hearings in both cases until Oct 1. The attendance of both bailed and under-trial accused was marked inside the jail, including senior PTI leaders Dr Yasmin Rashid and Ejaz Chaudhry.
