Islamabad: A district and sessions court confirmed the pre-arrest bail of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan this week in 10 cases pertaining to violence and damage to public property during the party’s long march of May 25.

Taking up his plea to avoid arrest in the FIRs registered against him at Aabpara, I-9, Kohsar, Karachi Company, Golra, Tarnol and Secret­a­riat pol­i­­ce stations of the federal ca­­pital in connection with the May 25 violence during the party’s ‘Azadi March’, Judge Kamran Ba­­sharat Mufti earlier gran­ted the PTI chief interim bail, which was confirmed on Saturday.

Earlier, Additional District and Sessions Judge Abdul Ghafoor Kakar already confirmed the pleas seeking bail in five FIRs against the PTI chairman.

Meanwhile, the court also granted pre-arrest interim bail to PTI’s chairman in a treason case registered at the Kohsar police station. The judge has summoned the record of the case at the next hearing set for Sept 8.
