DSP Kot Addu Ashiq Husain Khosa said a case was registered against Bilal Mustafa Khar and 1,900 others under the Anti-Terrorism Act for attacking the court, trying to snatch the ballot boxes and results of polling in the last general elections. On the next day, Bilal and his accomplices allegedly attacked Additional District and Sessions Judge Tariq Muhammad's office where results were officially announced and allegedly thrashed the judge besides issuing him threats. The police did not arrest Bilal at that time. On Thursday, he was arrested after he got interim bail from Lahore High Court Multan bench in the murder case of one Amjad who was allegedly killed by him last week. While talking to Dawn, Malik Ghulam Mustafa Khar alleged the cases against his son were pressure tactics by the PML-N government as he had moved the Election Commission against rigging in his constituency. He said the government was pressuring him to withdraw the case. He claimed that his son was innocent in both the cases. |
