RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s indictment and 120 other accused individuals in the GHQ attack case has been deferred to November 28, ARY News reported.

As per details, the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Rawalpindi postponed the indictment due to the absence of the accused individuals.

According to PTI’s lawyer, Muhammad Faisal Malik, the accused could not appear in court due to road blockages.
