LAHORE – A court on Friday issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Aleem Khan in the Pakistan Television and Parliament attack case.
A local anti-terrorism court issued the warrants on the persistent absence of the PTI leader from court proceedings despite several appeals made by the authorities in this regard.
The court directed law enforcement to arrest and produce Aleem Khan in court by September 30, according to an order issued by the anti-terror judge overseeing the proceedings.
Earlier this year, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had arrested Senior Punjab Minister Aleem Khan for owning assets beyond his known sources of income, a spokesperson for the watchdog said.
