The disgruntled leader of Pakistan Peoples Party was booked in mid-May for threatening and harassing police personnel as he went to the Darakhshan police station to record his statement on court orders.
Since the registration of the case, the accused remained on bail as he approached the Sindh High Court the very next day, seeking protection from being arrested.
Meanwhile, he was also granted an extension in bail in four other cases registered against him earlier this month at a Badin police station by the ATC-I until the same date.
