Additional district and sessions judge approved bail for two provincial lawmakers – Samar Ali Khan and Dr Seema Zia – and three other protestors – Adiba Aslam, Khalid and Ahmed Khan – against a surety of Rs10,000.
Darakshan police had registered an FIR against PTI leader Dr Arif Alvi, three legislators – Samar Ali Khan, Khurram Sherzaman, Dr Seema Zia – and other protestors on a complaint of a CBC official.
The PTI leaders along with residents of Clifton and Defence had held a protest at the CBC office on April 07 against the imposition of a tax on water supply through tankers and demanded water to be supplied through the pipelines.
