LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) granted interim bail to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Azam Khan Swati in six cases related to the May-9 riots, until May 21.

The court stopped the police from arresting Azam Swati and instructed the PTI leader to join the investigation.

ATC Judge Arshad Javed heard the bail petitions of Azam Swati, who was also present during the proceedings.

In his bail petitions, Azam Swati stated that the police had falsely implicated him in six cases, including attacks on Jinnah House and Askari Tower, torching of  the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz office in Model Town, and police vehicles in Gulberg.

He expressed his intention to cooperate with the investigations to prove his innocence but expressed concern about potential police arrest. He requested bail from the court.
