KARACHI: Former federal minister Babar Ghauri, who was detained last week at the Jinnah International Airport, was granted bail by a local court in the port city on Wednesday.
Due to allegations of terrorism and corruption against him, the police detained Ghauri. After a seven-year self-exile, he was detained as soon as he arrived in Pakistan from the United States.
On July 16, 2015, a case of encouraging a provocative speech was filed against Ghauri at the Site Super Highway Police Station. The case was heard in a local court.
According to the police’s report, which was presented to the court, there wasn’t enough evidence to convict MQM-P leader Ghauri. The report suggested letting him go.
The former minister has reportedly been questioned and suffers from a number of illnesses, according to the report. According to the report, Ghauri has weak kidneys, high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease.
According to Section 169 of the Criminal Code, Ghauri has been exonerated and released, according to investigating officer Mehboob Elahi.
Elahi added that the suspect could be released on bail under Section 169 of the Criminal Code and that the court would soon be made aware of the development.
