An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Friday declared Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders Hammad Azhar and Rana Shahbaz as absconders in a case related to violence against police during a protest held on October 5.
The ruling was issued due to their repeated failure to appear in court despite multiple summons.
ATC Administrative Judge Manzar Ali Gul declared the two leaders absconders and issued their permanent arrest warrants.
The court was hearing police petitions in connection with two cases registered at Islampura and Shafiqabad police stations.
According to police, advertisements had already been published to summon the accused, but both individuals have gone into hiding due to fear of arrest.
