LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) Lahore has issued a written verdict rejecting the bail for founder chairman Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf(PTI) in the Jinnah House attack case.

ATC Judge Manzar Ali Gill in written judgment said that the founder of PTI is not a common man and his  statement for his worker and supporters is important.

The court found no justification to grant bail to founder PTI and rejected the bail of founder PTI.
