Sher Afzal Marwat and other detained members of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) National Assembly have been granted bail by an anti-terrorism court in Islamabad.

When their respective surety bonds of Rs 30,000 were submitted, the judge ordered their immediate release.

Judge Abu Al-Hasnat Muhammad Zulqarnain chaired the session, which examined the cases of the PTI MPs who had been arrested. Ahmad Chattha, a member of the National Assembly (MNA), was identified in the case, according to the prosecution, and he faces a minimum term of three years.

The prosecution said that no such recovery had been made when the court asked whether any evidence had been retrieved from Sher Afzal Marwat, Ahmad Chattha, and other lawmakers. Several police stations, including Sangjani, Tarnol, and Noon, booked the detained PTI members, including Sher Afzal Marwat, Sheikh Waqas, Ahmad Chattha, and others, on anti-terrorism charges.

Following a Monday National Assembly session, Islamabad police detained PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, MNA Sher Afzal Marwat, last week on September 9.

A sizable police presence had assembled outside the Parliament House in anticipation, according to Express News. PTI leaders were leaving the building when police moved quickly to apprehend Marwat.

Following Sunday’s march, at least three cases against PTI leaders and supporters were filed at the Sangjani and Noon police stations, according to police officials.

Last week, police also stormed the parliament to detain multiple PTI leaders.

The arrests occurred one day after PTI braved a legal minefield to hold its rally in the nation’s capital on Sunday. The government did not waste any time in apprehending its leaders for disobeying hastily passed laws in advance of the highly anticipated event, which was widely regarded as a test of the beleaguered party’s political mettle.

Cases involving PTI officials.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership has been the target of three cases brought by Islamabad police for failing to end a protest on time, throwing stones at officials, and straying from approved routes. After the PTI’s public meeting, the cases were filed under the recently enacted Public Order and Peace Act. The first complaint about the rally going beyond the allotted time was filed at the Sangjani Police Station.

A second instance was reported at Sumbal Police Station for directing convoys along Srinagar Highway and Sadaat Colony in violation of the pre-approved route.
Stone-pelting of law enforcement officials, including senior superintendent of police (SSP) Safe City and other policemen, is the subject of the third case, which was filed at the Noon Police Station.
