LAHORE: The Lahore High Court granted protective bail in two cases of former Punjab Chief Minister and PTI President Chaudhry Parvez Elahi.
Elahi was granted bail till May 15 in the case filed by the Anti-Corruption Establishment. He was also granted bail till May 4 in another case, which was booked on terrorism charges. The court directed Elahi to approach the respective courts in both the cases.
Earlier, a bench of the Lahore High Court rejected Elahi’s plea to restrain the police from arresting him, after which he appeared before the court and obtained protective bail. The Lahore High Court directed the Punjab Police Chief and DGACE to submit a report on the late night raid at Elahi’s residence. Speaking to the media after the hearing, Elahi alleged that Caretaker Chief Minister Punjab Mohsin Naqvi and ACE Additional Director General Waqas Hassan were responsible for the raid on his residence.
He claimed that the Ahmadi lobby was behind the attack on his residence. He alleged that Waqas Hassan is representing the Ahmadis while we are representing the end of Prophethood. He said that PTI will make a clean sweep in the elections which must be done this year at any cost.
