LAHORE: Police on Tuesday arrested PML-N MNA Javed Latif after a sessions court dismissed his petition for interim pre-arrest bail in a case of “inciting people against the state institutions”.
The MNA had left the court when Additional District & Sessions Judge Wajid Minhas reserved verdict in the petition after hearing final arguments from the prosecution and the petitioner. The personnel of CIA police in civvies were already present on the court premises, apparently to arrest the MNA.
As the judge announced the verdict, a police team intercepted Mr Latif on his way back to Sheikhupura, near Phool Mandi (flower market) and arrested him.

PML-N MNA Javed Latif on Tuesday was arrested after a sessions court rejected his bail petition in a case registered against him on charges of inciting people against state institutions.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Wajid Minhas presided over today s hearing. Allegedly Latif had left the courtroom before the verdict was announced.
According to Latif s lawyer Farhad Ali Shah, the PML-N leader was arrested by the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) near Saggian Pul. Arresting someone before the verdict is announced is a violation of the law, the lawyer said.
