MUZAFFARGARH: MNA Jamshed Ahmad Dasti and his 40 supporters were released by the Dera Ghazi Khan anti-terrorism court judge on Friday.

Dasti, with his supporters, had put himself in to Muzaffargarh city police on Thursday after a terror case was registered against him on Tuesday for attacking police officials and creating hurdles in the working of the irrigation officials.

The judge released him after a brief hearing when the police failed to produce any evidence against him.
