On Friday, senior PTI leader Shahbaz Gill approached Islamabad High Court (IHC) after continuous efforts to get bail from a trial court in a sedition case filed against him. He requested the court that he be released on bail, stating that senior doctors at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) performed a medical examination on August 17 and the medical board found “evidence of physical torture”. The court fixed September 5 as the date it will hear the plea.
