An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Karachi on Saturday rejected a plea of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Haleem Adil Sheikh to release him on bail and instead handed him to police on three-day physical remand, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The PTI leader was produced before the ATC Karachi in connection with a terror case registered at Mubina Police Station.

During the hearing, the court rejected Haleem Adil Sheikh’s bail plea and handed him over to police on physical remand.
