Sedition case: Islamabad court grants bail to PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry

Islamabad (HRNW) A district and sessions court of Islamabad Wednesday approved bail of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhry.

The bail was approved with surety bonds worth Rs 20,000.

He is facing sedition charges after he threatened members of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

Judge Faizan Gillani approved Fawad’s bail on condition that he would not use foul language against the ECP members.

The court rejected pleas of ECP’s counsel and prosecutor for turning down PTI leader’s bail plea.

Judge remarked that the parliamentarians should refrain from giving provocative statements.

Talking to reporters outside the court, Fawad’s wife Hiba Chaudhry thanked PTI and its supporters for standing by her in difficult times.
