KARACHI: The president of PPP’s Karachi division Dr. Hussain has been released and shifted from the Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Complex to the Ziauddin Hospital.

The Sindh High Court on Friday issued orders to release Dr. Asim Hussain on bail after the accused furnished his passports that were being held by the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in connection with another case.

Earlier Dr. Asim Hussain’s legal team had moved the high court to amend the requirements for furnishing bail, however on Thursday the court had rejected the application; however when the ATC returned the passports being held in a case regarding aiding treatment for criminals, the accused was able to furnish them before the high court and secure bail.

Along with his passports, Dr. Asim has secured bail after submitting surety bonds to the value of Rs 5,000,000.
