A Lahore anti-terrorism court has indicted PTI leader Dr Yasmin Rashid and others in cases pertaining to vandalism outside Rahat Bakery and at the Shadman police station.

It also ordered for a jail trial to be held and summoned the witnesses for the next hearing. Other suspects indicted include PTI leaders Mian Mehmoodur Rasheed and Ejaz Chaudhry.

The cases were filed at the Shadman and Sarwar Road police stations in connection with the countrywide riots of May 9, resulting from PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s arrest in the Al-Qadir Trust case.
