The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) of Lahore Thursday rejected the bail plea of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activist and fashion designer Khadijah in the Gulberg plaza arson case. Khadija Shah, the prime suspect in the incident, was sent to jail on judicial remand. A case of arson and vandalism on a plaza in Gulberg was registered at the Gulberg police station, Lahore.  On June 10, the PTI’s incarcerated women activists, including Shah, Sanam Javed, and Aliya Hamza, had filed bail applications in the ATC in the Corps Commander House attack case. The court had issued notices to the prosecution, scheduling the hearing for June 12. The court also ordered the police to provide the record of the case on the upcoming hearing. During the proceedings, the suspects maintained that they were wrongly implicated in the case and requested to be released on bail.
