Senior journalist Mohsin Baig, who was booked by Margallah police station in Islamabad on terrorism charges, filed a bail application in an anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Monday, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The court will begin hearing Baig’s petition tomorrow (Tuesday, March 1, 2022).

The journalist has already been granted bail in unlicensed arms case.

The law-enforcement agencies had taken Beg into custody following a raid on his home in Islamabad around a fortnight ago on the complaint of Federal Minister Murad Saeed who had accused him of maligning him during a live TV show by giving the reference of a book authored by Prime Minister Imran Khan’s ex-wife Reham Khan.
