ISLAMABAD, April 6: Judicial Magistrate Jehangir Mir on Friday granted bail, in one case, to former NWFP minister Naqibullah Khan, who is allegedly involved in five different cases of crime.

The same court had sent him to the judicial lock-up for 14 days on March 12 for his alleged involvement in a case of impersonating himself as a DSP of an intelligence agency. The prosecution had claimed that it had recovered some four stolen vehicles from a place, which was under his possession, during his 14-day remand.
