The Lahore High Court has rejected former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s bail plea, ruling he was involved in the conspiracy behind the violent incidents on May 9, 2023. Based on testimonies from police officers, the court found sufficient evidence of criminal conspiracy and incitement. Despite being in prison during the violence, Khan was linked to planning the events. The court cited serious legal sections prohibiting bail in such cases and noted no new grounds justified release, leading to outright dismissal of his application.
