Islamabad: A district and sessions court on Monday acquitted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and party’s leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi in two cases pertaining to the long march vandalism.
Judicial Magistrate Ehtesham Alam approved the acquittal against the petitions filed by Khan and Qureshi.
The court also acquitted PTI’s leader Ali Mohammad Khan, Murad Saeed and former minister Asad Umar.
Both Umar and Ali appeared before the court and marked their attendance. The cases against them were filed in the Golra Police Station.
Last week, a court acquitted the PTI founder and other leaders of his party in similar cases registered in the Kohsar and Karachi Company police stations for violation of Section 144.
Zartaj Gul, Ali Nawaz Awan, Faisal Javed, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Qasim Suri, Raja Khurram Nawaz, Shireen Mazari, Saifullah Niazi, Asad Umar and Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmad were also received relief in the cases.
