The TLP leaders, who were granted bail, included Maulana Farooqul Hassan, Ghulam Ghaus Baghdadi, Pir Zaheerul Hassan, Maulana Sharifuddin, Engineer Hafeezullah Alvi, Muhammad Badar Munir, Qari Ashraf, Muhammad Akbar, Muzaffar Hussain, Muhammad Umair, and Muzamal Hussain. The petitioners’ counsel told the court that the TLP leaders and activists had been illegally detained by utilising state power on "baseless charges". The steering committee met for the second time and key decisions were made including the release of TLP activists, who were not directly involved in violence. It also contained that the TLP chief would be released and the reference against him in the Wafaqi Nazarsani Board withdrawn. Besides, it was also decided that cases against the TLP chief registered on April 12 and two before that would be withdrawn.
