The Anti-Terrorism Court in Lahore has issued non-bailable arrest warrants for four prominent leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, regarding the protest held on October 5, 2023.

This decision has come due to their failure to appear in a case related to the PTI protest in Lahore and alleged violence against police officers.

The court has made this ruling based on a request from the Mushtaq Gate police.

ATC Administrative Judge Manzoor Ali Gill has stated that the accused has repeatedly failed to engage in the investigation despite receiving multiple notices.

The warrants have been issued against Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, PTI leaders Hammad Azhar, Saeed Sindhu, and Rana Shahbaz Ahmad.

The police have claimed that these individuals allegedly played a role in the violence against police officers during the protest, which has led to a case being registered at the Mustaq Gate police station.

The court has ordered that all wanted leaders be arrested and presented in court to facilitate the progression of the case. A date for the next hearing is expected to be announced soon.
