LAHORE: Lahore High Court (LHC) division bench on Tuesday reserved verdict on a post-arrest bail petition of Waqas Ali, one of the accused of an attack on PTI founder in Wazirabad.

The bench, headed by Justice Aalia Neelum, heard the petition and reserved the verdict on conclusion of arguments by the parties.

The accused had approached the LHC for the relief of post-arrest bail, adding that the prosecution did not have any evidence to connect him with the incident. It is pertinent to mention here that an anti-terrorism court of Gujranwala had dismissed post-arrest bail petition of accused Waqas Ali in February 2023.

In November 2022, PTI founder and several other party leaders were injured, and a party worker was killed when the prime suspect Naveed Meher opened fire at a PTI rally in Wazirabad. The prosecution had accused Waqas of arranging a pistol for the prime suspect.
