A local court in Islamabad has accepted the bail application of PTI leader Murad Saeed in a case related to Section 144 violation. Additional Sessions Judge Zafar Iqbal on Wednesday heard the petition of the PTI leader and granted him bail against the surety bond of Rs5,000.  A case was registered against 19 PTI leaders including Imran Khan for defying Section 144 imposed in Islamabad on August 20, when the party members held a rally against the arrest and ‘custodial torture’ of PTI leader Shahbaz Gill. A first information report was registered in the Aabpara police station on August 23 that had nominated the political party leaders for undermining the law.
