LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Monday handed over Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s former MNA Aliya Hamza and social media activist Sanam Javed to Mianwali police on a one-day transit remand in connection with a new case of May 9 riots.
Earlier, the Mianwali police produced both accused before ATC Judge Arshad Javed after arresting them in the case.
