An anti-terrorism court in Lahore granted bail on Saturday to\u00a0anchorperson Imran Riaz in the Zaman Park attack case.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Imran was arrested on charges of vandalism and assaulting police officials during a clash at PTI founder Imran Khan\u2019s Lahore residence.<\/span><\/p>\n

A week earlier, the police had produced Imran before the court and sought his physical remand. The court sent Imran on judicial remand, rejecting his counsel’s plea for bail.<\/span><\/p>\n

Riaz’s counsel, Ali Mian Ashfaq, identified more than a dozen loopholes in the case during the proceedings, challenging the prosecution’s claims and highlighting inconsistencies.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the proceedings, Ashfaq questioned the sensitivity of the case, asking why the police were unaware of it for eight months if it was so significant. <\/span><\/p>\n

He pointed out the lack of evidence establishing Riaz’s connection to the charges and the absence of any role attributed to the accused in the FIR.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) on February 23 arrested Imran on charges of acquiring the Tharabi Lake contract at a significantly reduced price.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later, the anchorperson was granted bail in a corruption case against a bond worth Rs0.1 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
