An anti-terrorism court in Islamabad has ordered the production of PTI founder Imran Khan for the upcoming hearing in the case concerning the March 2023 attack on the Federal Judicial Complex. Judge Tahir Abbas Sipra directed authorities to bring Khan to court either physically or via a video link. Additionally, the court declared former federal ministers Farrukh Habib, Hammad Azhar, and Murad Saeed, as well as former senator Shibli Faraz, as proclaimed offenders for their failure to appear in court.
Non-bailable arrest warrants were issued for former Punjab Assembly deputy speaker Wasiq Qayyum and PTI MPA Hassan Khan Niazi. Khan was scheduled to be produced at the next hearing, either in person or through a video link. The clashes between police and PTI workers occurred on March 18, 2023, when Imran appeared at the FJC for a hearing related to the Toshakhana case.
The Islamabad police accused party workers of shelling the Judicial Complex and setting fire to a police post, while the PTI alleged that the police had shelled Imran's vehicle.
