During a hearing on Gandapur’s bail application, his lawyer sought exemption from attendance, but the judge, Tahir Abbas Sipra, denied the request.

The judge noted that Gandapur had previously been excused from attending due to illness but was seen in good health during a public event shortly after.

Alongside Gandapur, arrest warrants were also issued for PTI leaders Wasiq Qayyum Abbasi and Rashid Hafeez, while Umar Tanveer Butt was declared a proclaimed offender. PTI Senator Faisal Javed managed to secure an exemption from attendance.

The prosecution argued that the accused had repeatedly ignored court orders and failed to cooperate. In addition to the ongoing case, Gandapur is also involved in a separate matter concerning the recovery of alcohol and weapons, with a hearing scheduled for later today.
