A judicial magistrate in Karachi’s South district has released dozens of detained PTI workers after the investigating officer withdrew charges related to protesting near Empress Market.
The hearing of the case regarding the protest near Empress Market took place in the court of the Judicial Magistrate South.
During the proceedings, the investigating officer submitted a report to the court, and the police subsequently withdrew the charges against the accused. As a result, the court ordered their release.
