After the rejection of the bail application of PTI MPA Nazir Chohan yesterday, his complainant Special Assistant to PM on Accountability and Interior Shahzad Akbar came to his aid on Tuesday by giving an affidavit in his favour, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Sources divulged to 24NewsHD that in the wake of court’s rejection of bail application of Mr Chohan, SAPM Akbar submitted an affidavit in the favour of his accuser. 

Now Mr Chohan will submit another bail application to the sessions court on the basis of Mr Akbar’s affidavit, sources said adding that he would file his petition later today (Tuesday).

In his petition, Mr Chohan would pray to the court to grant him bail on the basis of the SAPM affidavit in his favour.

Mr Chohan told Mr Akbar that he sought his forgiveness for his statement in which he called the latter Qadiyani. He only not apologized to the SAPM but also to his family.
