Sanaullah granted bail because of ‘lapses in prosecution’s case’: court

Lahore (HRNW) Rana Sanaullah was granted bail because of the “lapses in the prosecution’s case”, according to the court verdict released on Thursday. Sanaullah will be released today after his bail was approved on December 24. He was arrested on July 1 after 15 kilogrammes of heroin were recovered from his Land Cruiser. According to Samaa tv the prosecution told the court that the ANF had been monitoring Sanaullah’s movements for a few days and they received credible information that drugs were being carried in a car similar to the one Sanaullah has. The PML-N leader, however, argued that a false case was registered against him for political victimisation “as the petitioner being a vocal leader of the opposition was openly criticising the policies of the sitting government”, says the court document.
