A district and sessions court in Islamabad issued a non-bailable arrest warrant on Tuesday for former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Ali Amin Gandapur in an arms and liquor recovery case. Judicial Magistrate Mubashir Hassan directed police to arrest the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader and present him before the court, citing his continued absence from proceedings.
The case, registered at Bara Kahu Police Station, has seen repeated delays over non-appearance, the court noted. The next hearing is scheduled for October 28. The development adds to a series of legal challenges confronting the PTI leadership since the May 9, 2023 unrest, with several senior figures facing separate cases in various forums.
In a related context, an anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi ordered police to arrest and produce PTI founder Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan, in matters connected to a November 26 protest last year, reflecting the broader legal pressures engulfing party associates.
