ISLAMABAD - Special Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Islamabad yesterday maintained that arrest warrants of Chairman Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf Imran Khan and head of Pakistan Awami Tehrik Tahirul Qadri in PTV attack case.
ATC judge Kausar Abbas Zaidi conducted hearing of the case and directed the police to implement its orders in relation to the arrest warrants of Imran Khan and Tahirul Qadri in the Pakistan Television (PTV) headquarters attack case.
During the hearing, the ATC judge inquired from the police why they had not been able to submit an implementation report about the court’s arrest orders.
The court expressed its annoyance over the police failure to submit the implementation report and directed authorities to carry out the arrests of Imran Khan, Tahirul Qadri and 68 others by Nov 17 and present them before the court on the said date.
The Federal police had booked 70 people after a mob of protesters belonging to PTI and PAT stormed into PTV headquarters and forced its staff to take two of the State broadcaster’s flagship channels — PTV News and PTV World — off the air on Sept 1, 2014.
