An Islamabad court on Wednesday rejected Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senator Azam Swati\u2019s bail application \u2013 remarking that the lawmaker launched diatribe against judiciary twice.
\nThe verdict was issued by Islamabad Special Judge Central Azam Khan. He had reserved the judgement earlier today.
\nDuring the hearing, prosecutor Rizwan Abbasi explained the court the process of verifying a Twitter account. He added that Swati has a \u201cblue tick\u201d on his Twitter account and is followed by famous personalities.
\n\u201cFamous journalists and political personalities follow Azam Swati,” said the lawyer. He added that the senator has never distanced himself from the account.
\n\u201cThere is no question that the Twitter account is not of Azam Swati,\u201d said Abbasi.
\nWhile concluding his arguments the prosecutor and government lawyer urged the court not to grant bail to the senator in the case.
\nOn the other hand, the PTI senator\u2019s lawyer, Sohail Khan, contended that a cybercrime case cannot be registered over screenshots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
