US EditionATC Grants Bail to Imran Khan’s Nephew Shershah
The Lahore Anti-Terrorism Court granted bail due to insufficient evidence linking Shershah Khan to the May 9 Jinnah House violence involving protests following Imran Khan's arrest.
- On Thursday, an Anti-Terrorism Court in Lahore approved bail for Shershah Khan, who is related to Imran Khan, in connection with the investigation into the May 9 attack on Jinnah House.
- The bail ruling comes after widespread riots erupted across the country on May 9, 2023, following Imran Khan's arrest, during which Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf supporters staged demonstrations at various government and military sites, notably including Jinnah House and the GHQ in Rawalpindi.
- Shershah Khan was arrested in August 2023, placed on judicial remand, and faced accusations supported by video evidence showing his presence at the riot scene, while his counsel argued lack of incriminating proof.
- The court, with ATC Judge Manzar Ali Gul presiding, directed that Shershah be released upon furnishing surety bonds of Rs100,000, while earlier bail had been granted to his sibling Shahrez Khan in a related matter.
- The bail suggests judicial progress amid ongoing trials against PTI members, while Imran Khan remains incarcerated and his family faces legal challenges they call politically motivated, with Amnesty International also criticizing the arrests.
