A Pakistan court on Thursday granted interim bail to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief and former prime minister Imran Khan in a case filed against him last week for his remarks against senior police officials and a female judge of the country.
The judge, Raja Jawad Abbas, granted Khan bail until September 1 against a surety of 100,000 Pakistani rupees ($460), reports Aljazeera.
Later, additional sessions judge Tahir Abbas Supra also granted Imran Khan interim bail until September 7 over an unlawful assembly charge against a surety of 5,000 Pakistani rupees ($22.8).
Imran has faced mounting legal challenges over the last few days. The last week saw multiple cases filed against him, including one under anti-terrorism laws for “threatening” senior police officials and a female judge.
