The Bhakkar police have registered three cases against the PTI leader, including one that includes anti-terrorism provisions.
On Friday, Ali Amin Gandapur was transferred from Islamabad to the Bhakkar Saddar police station where three cases had been registered against him under the provisions of terrorism and attempted murder.
The district and sessions court in Islamabad on Thursday handed over the PTI leader to the Bhakkar police on one-day transit remand. The Bhakkar police had sought three-day transit remand of Mr Gandapur. However, duty magistrate Naveed Khan handed over the PTI to the Bhakkar police on one-day remand.
