GUJRANWALA– ATC issues arrest warrants for Rana Sanaullah that are subject to bail.

In a case filed against him at Gujrat’s Industrial Area police station, an anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Friday issued arrest warrants for Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah that are subject to bail. Later, the court issued a directive directing the authorities to bring him before it on March 7. On Shahkaz Aslam’s complaint, the leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q), the Gujrat police had earlier filed a terrorism case against Mr. Sanaullah, alleging that the minister had threatened the former Punjab chief secretary and his family. Police had dismissed the case, filed a report with the court, which the ATC later quashed. The minister’s arrest warrants were then issued.

During the hearing, ANF Assistant Director Imtiaz and Inspector Ehsaan termed the charges against Mr Sanaullah “incorrect” and “fake”. Separately, the two witnesses in the case also submitted their affidavits in court stating that the said drugs were not recovered in their presence.

Later, the court acquitted the PML-N leader and all the other accused in the case.
