Some of them were booked for violating the ban on political rallies under section 144 of the CrPC and FIRs were registered against them. Another 50 PPP workers were allowed
pre-arrest bail by the
additional sessions judges in Lahore.

Most of the workers allowed bail by the Model Town courts were not released because they could not submit necessary bail bonds within court timings.

applications.
