ATC Issues Fourth Non-Bailable Warrant for Aleema Khan, Orders Surety Forfeiture

The court also questioned police accounts of her whereabouts, issuing show-cause notices to two Rawalpindi officers over what it called bogus reports.

Overview

  • A Rawalpindi anti-terrorism court issued a fourth non-bailable arrest warrant for Aleema Khan after her continued failure to appear in the November 26 protest case.
  • The court ordered forfeiture of her existing Rs100,000 surety, directed her to furnish two new surety bonds of Rs1 million each, and issued a show-cause to guarantor Umar Sharif with a reply due October 24.
  • Show-cause notices were served on SP Rao Muhammad Saad and DSP Naeem for contempt after the judge termed their disappearance reports about Aleema Khan bogus, with both officers summoned on October 24.
  • The judge noted that claims of Aleema being in hiding conflicted with her recent media interactions outside Adiala Jail, and adjourned her case to October 24.
  • In a related GHQ attack proceeding, Imran Khan marked attendance in jail as the hearing was adjourned to November 5 after three summoned police sub-inspectors did not appear, with all accused ordered to attend the next hearing.
