On Monday, an anti-terrorism court (ATC) granted a one-day transit remand to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s former MNA Aliya Hamza and social media activist Sanam Javed in connection with a new case related to the May 9 riots. The remand was issued by the ATC, allowing the Mianwali police to take custody of both individuals.
Prior to this, the Mianwali police had apprehended both suspects and presented them before ATC Judge Arshad Javed regarding their involvement in the case.
The police filed an application for transit remand, citing that the accused were arrested in connection with a case involving the torching of the Kamar Mashani police station in Mianwali during the protests on May 9, 2023.
The police requested the court to grant transit of the accused for their presentation before the relevant court in Sargodha.
In response, the court approved a one-day transit remand of the accused and instructed the police to present them before the appropriate court on April 2.
The Mianwali police had apprehended the accused in connection with the case prior to their release from Kot Lakhpat Jail, where they had been granted bail in a case involving the attack on the Shadman police station on March 27.
