Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and former federal minister Ali Amin Gandapur has secured post-arrest bail from an anti-terrorism court in Lahore in a vandalism case. The PTI leader is booked at Race Course police station over charges of providing weapons to the PTI workers. ATC Judge Aijaz Ahmed Battar granted post-arrest bail to Ali Amin Gandapur against surety bond of Rs50,000. The former federal minister is currently in Sukkur jail. On April 20, an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore handed over former federal minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Ali Amin Gandapur to Sindh police over transit remand.

A case was registered against the PTI leader for delivering hate speech against state institutions.It is pertinent to mention that the Lahore police took custody of the PTI leader soon after a court in Bhakkar granted bail to a firebrand politician in a case related to opening fire on a police checkpoint. Gandapur, a former federal minister, was arrested from outside the Peshawar High Court’s D.I. Khan bench earlier this month. On April 8, a case was registered against Gandapur at Islamabad’s Golra police station under section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA).
