An Islamabad district and sessions court has accepted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhry’s bail petition in the case registered against him for threatening Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) officials and their families.
The bail has been accepted on the condition that he will not repeat any words that can incite violence against a constitutional institution. Chaudhry was arrested outside his house in Lahore last Wednesday after the case was registered against him in Islamabad.
The former minister was brought to court on Saturday with a black cloth covering his face on directives issued by Additional Sessions Judge Tahir Mehmood Khan who said the appearance of a suspect in the court is mandatory in cases where investigators seek a physical remand.
