Incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has been given a 10-day physical remand to the Lahore police by an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in connection with a dozen cases related to the May 9, 2023, riots.
The deposed premier, who is currently imprisoned in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, attended the hearing via video link today (Monday) at the ATC judge Arshad Nadeem’s courtroom.Khan was represented by his lawyers Usman Riaz Gill and Azhar Siddique in today’s hearing.
The ATC was hearing 12 cases related to the May 9 riots against the former premier which erupted following his arrest from Islamabad High Court (IHC) premises last year in which protesters targeted government and military installations.
At the outset of the hearing, investigation officers requested the ATC judge for granting approval to Khan’s physical remand in the relevant cases.
