HARIPUR: An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) here on Friday rejected the bail application of Member Provincial Assembly Faisal Zaman.
The MPA, belonging to a wealthy family reportedly owning ships and known asjahazaan wala due to this link, has been behind bars since January 11 in the murder case of PTI’s local leader Malik Tahir Iqbal and a former councillor Sardar Gul Nawaz.
The two were gunned down by unknown attackers on the night of September 13, 2020 when they were on the way to Ghazi from Kotehra village.
Through a four-page written order, the ATC judge, Aurangzeb Khattak, observed that the oral and documentary evidence available on record shows that there was a prima facie case against the accused and he was not entitled to the concession of bail.
