May 9 violence: ATC indicts Yasmin Rashid, others

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders Dr Yasmin Rashid, Ejaz Chaudhary, and Rubina Jameel were Tuesday indicted by an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore in a case pertaining to the May 9 violence.

All three accused, however, have pleaded not guilty in the case.

The party’s leaders have been imprisoned for months after being booked in cases related to the May 9 riots which were triggered after PTI chief Imran

Khan was arrested in a graft case.

The ATC has now summoned the witnesses in the case to record their statements on December 16, while copies of the challan were distributed among the accused during the previous hearing. All three accused have been booked in two cases at the Sarwar Road police station in Lahore.
