The Islamabad High Court has denied bail applications for PTI members of the National Assembly involved in the Sindh House attack case, prompting police to arrest MNAs Attaullah Niazi and Fahim Khan on Tuesday.
Justice Tariq Mehmood Jehangiri of the Islamabad High Court heard the case and denied bail applications by MNAs Attaullah Niazi and Fahim Khan.
Police arrested both MNAs as soon as their bail was denied.
The federal capital police had arrested 13 members of the then-ruling party PTI for storming Sindh House in Islamabad on March 18 ahead of the opposition’s no-confidence motion against Imran Khan’s government.
According to reports, PTI dissidents who wanted to vote in favor of the no-trust motion took refuge in the Sindh House. However, after staging a sit-in outside the Parliament, PTI zealots stormed into Sindh House and began smashing the main gate.
On March 19, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Qadir Mandokhail petitioned the local court in Islamabad to register an FIR against the PTI for attacking the Sindh House.
