Shahraiz Khan: PTI founder’s nephew granted bail in May 9 case

🔹 Case Background

• Shahraiz Khan, who was arrested in connection with the May 9 riots (following the arrest of Imran Khan), was accused of involvement in the violent protests and attacks on government and military installations, including the Jinnah House case in Lahore.

🔹 Court Decision

• An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) has granted him bail in the case.

• The bail was approved against surety bonds after his legal team argued that the prosecution lacked substantial evidence tying him directly to vandalism.

🔹 Earlier Proceedings

• Shahraiz was previously placed on judicial remand during the investigation phase.

• He faced charges under terrorism, arson, and public disorder provisions.

🔹 Significance

• His bail marks a key development as several other PTI leaders, workers, and family members of the PTI founder are still facing trials for the May 9 incidents.
