A day after an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore ordered the release of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Yasmin Rashid in the Jinnah House attack case, the Punjab police announced to approach the high court against the order. “The court order is being challenged as police were not given the opportunity to present forensic evidence in the case. The court (ATC) order will attain finality after the order of the High Court,” added the statement. The rioting was followed by a harsh crackdown against the former ruling party leaders and workers. However, Yasmin Rashid was among the leaders still standing firm with the deposed prime minister.
