Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rasheed was arrested on Tuesday in a case pertaining to the May 9 violence.

He was arrested from Rawalpindi after a court rejected his bail application in case filed in the New Town police station for vandalism at the Metro bus station in Rawalpindi.

An Anti-Terrorism Court which rejected his bail, later adjourned the hearing of the May 9 riots cases till January 25.

Rasheed’s lawyer told media that the bail of the the former interior minister’s nephew, Rashid Shafique, was granted bail in all 13 cases related to the May 9 riots.

“The AML chief, however, has been taken to the police station and will be produced before the ATC tomorrow to decide on his judicial or physical remand,” he said.
