Asad Umar denies contact rumours with Jahangir Tareen

The PTI stalwart appeared before a District and Sessions Court in Islamabad seeking bail in a case lodged against him in Tarnol Police station over May 9 riots.

During the court hearing, Asad’s counsel informed the court about the unfortunate demise of the prosecutor’s mother.

The lawyer earnestly requested the court to adjourn the case until the prosecutor’s return.

Responding to this plea, the court granted an extension of pre-arrest bail until June 10 and postponed the hearing.

Meanwhile, in a media talk outside the court, Asad Umar reacting to rumours said he was not in contact with Mr Tareen.

Mr. Asad asserted that he is not facing any external pressures, emphasizing that he has been consistently attending trials since his release.
