-NAB office clash case
From Abid Usman
LAHORE: A local court on Thursday granted bail to 58 Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) workers involved in a clash with police outside the Lahore National Accountability Bureau (NAB) office.
The court directed the accused to deposit surety bonds of Rs 50,000 each for availing the relief of bail. Judicial Magistrate Hafiz Muhammad Nafees Yousaf heard the bail application of the accused at district courts.
The defence counsel arguing before the court said that the police had registered a fake case against the accused, and they did not have any link with the commitment of the offence.
He submitted that the accused were not required for the investigations, yet they were locked up. He pleaded with the court to grant the benefit of bail to them.
However, a public prosecutor opposed the request and submitted that the accused were nominated in the FIR, and sufficient material was available to connect them with the commitment of the offence.
