\nISLAMABAD:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Rawalpindi granted bail to former premier and PTI founder Imran Khan in 12 cases linked to the May 9 riots while PTI stalwart and former foreign minister was granted bail in 13 cases. <\/p>\n

Imran was also granted bail in the GHQ and Army Museum attack cases and the court ordered a surety bond of Rs0.1 million in all 12 cases.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bail applications were heard by ATC Judge Malik Ejaz Asif. The court said there was no justification to keep the PTI founder under arrest and all accused in May 9 cases are on bail.<\/p>\n

Imran and Qureshi were indicted<\/a> in the cases on February 6. The two were\u00a0Iwere produced before the court, where the former prime minister informed the judge that he was illegally arrested on May 9 from the premises of the Islamabad High Court (IHC).<\/p>\n

Imran was booked<\/a> in multiple cases related to the violence on May 9, which erupted across the country following his arrest in a corruption case. The cases registered in Rawalpindi included the attack on the gate of General Headquarters (GHQ), rioting in the office of a sensitive institution and others.<\/p>\n

He had\u00a0denied the allegations mentioned in the first information reports (FIRs) of the cases.<\/p>\n

It may be noted that earlier, after his release from Adiala jail, PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi was whisked away by Punjab police from prison in connection with a case pertaining to the attack on the GHQ.<\/p>\n

In July last year, a high-level joint investigation team (JIT) probing incidents related to the May 9 violence had decided to nominate the former premier in two terrorism cases including an attack on the GHQ.<\/p>\n

With the addition of new sections in the cases, the PTI chief was charged with plotting and incitement to violence.<\/p>\n
