On Saturday, an anti-terrorism court in Lahore made a significant decision by granting bail to anchorperson Imran Riaz in the Zaman Park attack case. The case revolves around allegations of vandalism and assaulting police officials during a clash at the Lahore residence of PTI founder Imran Khan.
Remarks of the counsel
Imran Riaz Khan’s arrest sparked controversy, with his counsel, Ali Mian Ashfaq, meticulously dissecting the prosecution’s case. Ashfaq highlighted numerous loopholes and inconsistencies, casting doubt on the credibility of the charges against his client.
During the proceedings, Ashfaq questioned the delayed awareness of the case by the police and the lack of concrete evidence linking Imran to the alleged crimes outlined in the FIR. These pointed questions underscored the fragile foundation of the prosecution’s argument.
Furthermore, Imran’s previous entanglement with the law, particularly in a corruption case related to the Tharabi Lake contract, added complexity to the situation. Despite this, Imran managed to secure bail in the corruption case earlier, further complicating the legal landscape surrounding his current predicament.
