A district and sessions court in Islamabad fixed March 2 as the date for indictment of former federal minister Sheikh Rashid in a case relating to his accusations against Zardari for allegedly hatching a plot to kill Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan.
The Awami Muslim League (AML) chief appeared in the court of judicial magistrate Umar Shabbir along with his lawyer on Saturday. He was seeking the registration of a case against the Abpara police station SHO for not returning his belongings.
Multiple cases were registered against the AML chief after he backed Khan’s allegations that Zardari was plotting to kill the PTI chair. Initially, Rashid, according to the police, was arrested in the case of levelling allegations against Zardari on February 2.
A day later, the Murree Police also registered a case against him. An FIR was also registered against Rashid for using “filthy” language against Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto at the Mochko police station in Karachi. A similar case was also registered against him in Lasbela.
