Founder Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan and other leaders of his party were acquitted by the district and sessions court on Monday in two cases related to vandalism.

Other leaders of the party who were acquitted include Zartaj Gul, Ali Nawaz Awan, Faisal Javed, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Qasim Suri, Raja Khurram Nawaz, Shireen Mazari, Saifullah Niazi, Asad Umar and Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmad.

These particular cases were registered in the Kohsar and Karachi Company police stations under the violation of Section 144.

The court had earlier reserved its verdict in the Long March vandalism case.

Khan’s legal representatives spoke with journalists and stated that the cases against Khan were based on political vengeance.

“No evidence of vandalism found against PTI founder during the long march,” he said, adding that the Islamabad administration did not issue any notification to enforce Section 144 in the capital city.
