LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court on Wednesday restored the pre-arrest bail of PTI Secretary General Asad Umar in a case of allegedly attacking police with petrol bombs and pelting stones outside Zaman Park.

The other day, Judge Abher Gul Khan had cancelled the bail of Umar as he failed to appear before the court.

Now the judge restored the bail of the PTI leader after he attended the hearing.

The judge also granted him pre-arrest bail till April 7 in another case registered by Shadman police.
