Ali Amin Gandapur handed over to Sindh police

KARACHI: The anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore on Thursday handed over former federal minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Ali Amin Gandapur to Sindh police over transit remand, ARY News reported.

Lahore ATC judge Abhar Gul Khan heard the case and handed over Gandapur to Shikarpur police on two-day transit remand.

A case has been registered against the PTI leader for delivering a hate speech against state institutions.

It is pertinent to mention here that the Lahore police took custody of PTI leader soon after a court in Bhakkar granted bail to a firebrand politician in a case related to opening fire on a police checkpoint.

Gandapur, a former federal minister, was arrested from outside the Peshawar High Court’s D.I. Khan bench earlier this month.

On April 8, a case was registered against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Ali Amin Gandapur at Islamabad’s Golra police station under section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA).
