An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Rawalpindi on Tuesday extended the bail plea of former Member of the National Assembly (MNA) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sadaqat Ali Abbasi in May 9 violence case, ARY News reported.

The ATC approved his bail plea against surety bonds worth Rs 50,000.

Former parliamentarian Sadaqat Ali Abbasi on Monday announced parting ways with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) blaming PTI Chairman Imran Khan for events that happened on May 9.
