A District and Sessions court of Islamabad dismissed the post arrest bail petition of PTI leader Shahbaz Gill on Tuesday.
\nAdditional District and Sessions Judge Zafar Iqbal pronounced the reserved verdict.
\nGill was arrested on August 9 in Islamabad after a sedition case was filed against him for inciting mutiny within the Pakistan Army. He was already facing sedition charges, but the Islamabad Police last week also registered a case against the PTI leader over possession of an illegal weapon.
\nHis bail in the arms recovery case has already been approved.
\nGill was booked in the case after police raided the incarcerated PTI leader’s room in Parliament Lodges late Monday where they recovered weapons, a satellite phone, and foreign currency.
\nThe PTI has repeatedly demanded that the party leader be released on bail, alleging that he is facing humiliation, torture and sexual abuse in police custody.
\nGill, during the raid at his Parliament Lodge’s residence, also told journalists that he had been sexually assaulted.
\nThe party leader also asserted that he was denied treatment for asthma; however, the federal government and police have refuted the allegations.
