An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Karachi on Friday accepted the bail applications of over 25 TLP activists, who had been arrested in connection with rioting in the city following the arrest of TLP chief Saad Rizvi, in lieu of Rs30, 000 surety bond each.

The suspects had burnt tyres and public properties in the jurisdictions of airport and New Karachi police stations.  

The court ordered the release of TLP workers following the submission of surety bonds.   

Similarly, an anti-terrorism court in Lahore granted bail to 32 TLP workers in lieu of Rs0.1million surety bond each.   

These persons had been arrested in connection with interfering in official duty and resorting to vandalism.
