An Islamabad district and sessions court on Tuesday granted post-arrest bail to PTI leader Ali Amin Gandapur in a case pertaining to threatening national institutions.
The verdict, which was reserved on Monday, was pronounced by Additional District and Sessions Judge Sikandar Khan. The judge also directed the PTI leader to furnish two surety bonds amounting to Rs0.3 million each.
Former federal minister Gandapur was apprehended last week outside the Dera Ismail Khan Bench of the Peshawar High Court. He was turned over to the Golra police in Islamabad, but Bhakkar police afterwards took control of him.
The PTI politician was the subject of a first information report (FIR) filed with the Golra police, which cited an audio clip in which he is allegedly heard making disparaging remarks about the federal coalition, shouting threats at government employees, and inciting the populace against the government.
On April 8, Islamabad police reached DI Khan and took the PTI leader to Islamabad. An Islamabad judicial magistrate then remanded him into police custody for a day.
On April 11, an Islamabad judicial magistrate remanded the PTI leader in police custody for two more days.
