A large number of PTI activists were present in the court during hearing. On Thursday, an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore granted three-day transit remand of PTI leader Gandapur to Sindh police. ATC judge Abhar Gul Khan heard the case that had been registered against Gandapur in Shikarpur district over anti-state speeches.

The Sindh police approached the Lahore court for the transit remand of the PTI leader. The court first granted two-day transit remand and then extended it by one day due to Eid.
