PESHAWAR: An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Peshawar has reissued non-bailable arrest warrants for former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Sohail Afridi and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Aamir Chamkani in connection with the Radio Pakistan attack case.
The hearing was presided over by ATC Judge Wali Muhammad. During the proceedings, the court also extended the interim pre-arrest bail granted to PTI leaders Taimur Jhagra, Kamran Bangash and Irfan Saleem.
The court adjourned further proceedings in the case until November 17.
Meanwhile, Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry had earlier confirmed in an interview with international news agency Reuters that former chief minister Sohail Afridi and some members of his cabinet had been taken into preventive custody.
The latest court proceedings mark another development in the case concerning the May 9 attack on Radio Pakistan in Peshawar.
