An anti-terrorism court in Lahore has granted interim bail to former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan till April 4 in three terrorism cases related to vandalism, arson and attack by the PTI workers on police officials in Zaman Park.

The court granted interim bail in three terror cases against surety bonds of Rs100,000 each. 

The court, however, ordered the PTI chairman to participate in the case investigations.  

Earlier, PTI Chairman Imran Khan reached the anti-terrorism court in his vehicle to get interim bail in three terrorism cases registered against him.

The Lahore High Court on Friday granted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan a three-day extension in protective bail till March 27 in five cases registered against him in the federal capital after he personally appeared before the court

The former prime minister arrived at the LHC amid tight security as a two-member special bench, comprising Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh and Justice Anwaar Hussain heard the plea regarding an extension in the protective bail.

Last week, Khan secured protective bail in eight terrorism cases and one civil case — a total of nine — after he appeared before the court in person. For the five cases in Islamabad, the court granted bail to Khan till March 24 and for the three cases in Lahore, he received bail for 10 days (March 27).

Yesterday, Khan did not file bail petitions in five new cases registered in Ramna, Khanna, and Bhara Kaho police stations of Islamabad under terrorism charges.
