Lawyer Farhad Shah responded that police are carrying out raids at the PML-N leaders’ residences, they were not at their houses last night which resulted in trouble for them in reaching court on the time.

Later, the court extended the interim bail of Rana Sanaullah and Safdar until October 17.

It may be noted that on August 12, Lahore police had registered a case against 300 Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leaders including its Vice President Maryam Nawaz on the complaint of the National Accountability Bureau after violent clashes outside the NAB office.

The case carried sections dealing with the attack on NAB office in Lahore, interference in official duty and other related sections pertaining to violent acts.
