The ATC has summoned police tomorrow over the bail plea along with the case record.
“The case against Ahmed Farhad, has been registered under seven clauses including terrorism,” Zulqarnain Naqvi Advocate talking to media said.
Ahmed Farhad has not been named in the case, the counsel said. “He was not in Muzaffarabad on the day when the case registered,” lawyer said.
