Last week, the two ATCs found dozens of leaders and workers of PTI, including Dr. Yasmin Rashid, Mian Mahmoodur Rasheed, Umar Sarfraz Chema, Ejaz Chaudhary and Malik Ahmad Khan Bhachaha, guilty of auging and absorbing the disturbances on May 9, 2023 and sentenced them to several terms of the prison.

Sargodha ATC sentenced 32 people, including 10 years in prison to Bhachar and Chattha. Mianwali Police had registered the case against PTI’s legislators, workers and supporters to create anarchy, resorting to a fire and inciting people to vandalism.
Lahore ATC sentenced eight PTI leaders to 10 years in prison for creating anarchy and resorting to fires caused on the Sherpao de Lahore bridge. The ATC judge, however, acquitted six PTI leaders and workers, including Shah Mehmood Qureshi, in the same case.
