The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) held a hearing on the interim bail application of Pakistan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) former Deputy Speaker Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mehmood Jan, who was named in the murder case. The hearing was held in front of Judge Jahanzeb Shinwari of the Anti-Terrorism Court.

The court rejected Mahmood Jan’s request, on which the police arrested the former Deputy Speaker from the courtroom.

The PTI leader Mahmood Jan is accused of killing a person by firing on a property dispute. His case is registered against Mahmood Jan at the police station.

In this regard, Mahmood Jan had applied for interim bail to avoid arrest, but the court dismissed the application.
