A Joint Investigation Team (JIT) has cleared eight Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers, including women, of any wrongdoing in the incident.

A Lahore anti-terrorism court judge, Manzar Ali Gul, heard the Jinnah House attack and arson case on Wednesday. Lawyers for the acquitted individuals requested the withdrawal of their bail applications, which the court granted.

However, the JIT implicated Hajra Niazi, sister of Hassan Niazi, in the attack. Fatima Haider, Beena Zeeshan, and Ruksana Naveed were also declared guilty by the JIT. The court extended the interim bail of Hajra Niazi and the others until January 15th.

A case against the accused in the Jinnah House attack has been registered at the Sarwar Road police station. Further proceedings are expected in the case.
