An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Islamabad Monday granted bail to the senior journalist Mohsin Baig against the surety bonds worth Rs5 million, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

ATC Judge Muhammad Ali Warraich granted bail to the media personality Mohsin Baig. 

In February, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had arrested journalist Mohsin Baig from his home on the complaint of Federal Minister Murad Saeed days after he passed “derogatory remarks” about the minister during a TV show.

The FIA's Cyber Crime Wing (CCW) raided the journalist's house in the federal capital on Feb 16 and took him into custody.
