A Rawalpindi anti-terrorism court directed relevant authorities on Friday to block the national identity card (CNIC) and passport of PTI founder Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan, over her failure to attend the hearing despite the execution of a non-bailable arrest warrant against her.
The development came in a case pertaining to a protest staged by the PTI in November last year, in which the court has issued arrest warrants for her multiple times.
The last non-bailable arrest warrant for Aleema in the case was issued on October 22 over her persistent absences from the hearings. It was executed yesterday as Punjab Sub-Divisional Police Officer Azhar Shah presented the warrant before an Islamabad High Court bench and obtained Aleema’s signature on the spot.
Judge Amjad Ali Shah resumed the hearing of the Nov 26 protest case at the ATC today and directed the National Database and Registration Authority director general (DG), as well as the Passports DG, to block her CNIC and passport.
