An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) has remanded Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s (MQM) nominated mayor Waseem Akhtar till July 25 in police custody.
The ATC also rejected a bail pea of Pak Sarzameen Party leader Anees Qaimkhani.
Police arrested MQM leaders Waseem Akhtar, Rauf Siddiqui, and Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) Anis Qaimkhani on Tuesday after an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Karachi rejected their bail pleas in the Dr Asim Hussain case.
Police personnel locked the gates leading out of the court premises, with strict security not allowing the MQM and PSP leaders to leave the building.
Television footage from the spot showed an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) parked outside the building, blocking the gate leading out of the court premises.
