In a case involving the attack on Jinnah House during the May 9, 2023 riots, Shershah, the son of Aleema Khan and nephew of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, filed a bail request, which an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore allowed on Thursday.
A day after his brother Shahrez was arrested, on August 22, the suspect was taken into jail. He was first held in police custody for five days before being placed on a 14-day judicial remand.
After the PTI founder was arrested in 2023 in connection with a corruption investigation, the May 9 riots spread throughout the nation. Attacks on state and military facilities were among the acts of violence, with the Jinnah House incident emerging as one of the most well-known instances.
