ISLAMABAD: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Rawalpindi on Monday issued arrest warrants for Aleema Khan, sister of former prime minister and PTI founder Imran Khan, for the seventh time in connection with the November 26 protest case.
ATC Judge Amjad Ali Shah issued the orders after Aleema once again failed to appear before the court. She and ten others are accused in the case registered at Sadiqabad Police Station, Rawalpindi.
The court had previously issued her arrest warrants six times. On October 29, the ATC also directed the authorities to block her passport and national identity card over repeated non-appearance, a directive later confirmed by the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra).
Judge Shah reiterated that the repeated disregard of court summons could not be tolerated and ordered law enforcement agencies to ensure her presence at the next hearing.
