PTI lawyer Burhan Muazzam, giving arguments, said that such a statement should be presented in the court on which the accused have been declared guilty. The investigating officer said, “We will show all the statements of 161, after which the hearing was adjourned for some time.”
It should be noted that earlier after the May 9 arson incidents came to light, there was a nationwide crackdown against PTI. The leadership of Tehreek-e-Insaf, including Imran Khan, is facing widespread accusations, cases, and arrests.
