The Lahore High Court (LHC) has extended PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s bail in the Zille Shah murder case till June 6 and directed him to join the investigation.

The order was issued by Justice Anwar-ul-Haq Pannu.

Before arriving at the LHC, Imran also appeared in an anti-terrorism case for bail in cases linked to May 9 violence.

During the hearing, ATC Judge Ijaz Ahmed Batar directed the ex-premier to become a part of investigations initiated against him.

For his part, coming to the rostrum, the PTI chief reiterated that there were threats to his life. Imran’s lawyer Salman Safdar also said that he was ready to present arguments in all the cases on one day and requested the court to fix all the cases for hearing on a single day.
