Lahore ATC acquits PTI's Yasmin in Jinnah House attack case

Lahore (Web Desk): An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore on Saturday discharged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and former Punjab health minister Yasmin Rashid in the Jinnah House attack case and ordered authorities to immediately release her.

ATC Judge Abher Gul Khan issued the order after it rejected the police's plea seeking physical remand of the PTI leader.

"Perusal of record reveals that neither Dr Yasmin Rashid is nominated in the FIR nor involved through supplementary statement and she was summoned in the case on the disclosure of a co-accused which has no evidentiary value in the eye of the court," the court order said.

The court added that no “incriminating material” was found against Rashid and ordered her release.
