LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Senator Ejaz Ahmad Chaudhry on Thursday secured fresh interim pre-arrest bail from an anti-terrorism court in four cases relating to the May 25 long march as his previous bail was dismissed for nonprosecution.

He appeared before the court along with his counsel.

The court granted bail to him till Aug 5 in four cases subject to furnishing of bail bonds of Rs100,000 each.

His counsel contended that the petitioner had been subjected to political victimisation.

He said the petitioner had already secured pre-arrest bail in six cases registered by the police on similar charges.

He asked the court to allow the bail petitions of the petitioner.

The cases were registered at Shahdara, Bhati Gate, Gulberg and Shafiqabad police stations.
