Dr. Yasmin Rashid, Ejaz Chaudhary, and Rubina Jameel, leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), were accused on Tuesday by a Lahore anti-terrorism court (ATC) in connection with the May 9 violence. But in this case, all three of the defendants have entered not guilty pleas. The PTI chief Imran Khan’s detention in a graft case led to the May 9 riots, which resulted in the imprisonment of the party’s officials for several months. While copies of the challan were given to the accused during the previous hearing, the ATC has now called the witnesses in the case to record their statements on December 16. At the Sarwar Road police station in Lahore, all three of the suspects have been booked in two separate cases.
