LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore on Tuesday issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur in connection with a case involving violence against police during a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protest held in Lahore on 5 October 2024.

The ATC also issued arrest warrants for three other PTI leaders — Hammad Azhar, Saeed Sindhu, and Shehbaz Ahmed — for failing to join the investigation despite repeated police summons. Police said that the named individuals were wanted in cases related to the last year’s October 5 protest during which PTI workers allegedly attacked law enforcement personnel.

According to police officials, the PTI leaders had been nominated in multiple FIRs and were summoned on several occasions to join the investigation but failed to comply.
