SIALKOT: A court on Tuesday dismissed the bail applications of brothers Ansar Jatt, also known as Mr. Patlu, and Kashif Bashir in connection with the Faraz Ground stampede case, citing non-prosecution.
Two people died and 14 were injured in a stampede during a Mehndi ceremony reportedly organised for Mr. Patlu. A case was registered against the brothers. Mr. Patlu later secured protective bail from the High Court, while an Additional District and Sessions Judge in Daska granted interim bail to both.
Daska Saddar Police subsequently registered a separate case against Mr. Patlu over allegations that he threatened the complainant, and arrested him. Presented before a magistrate, he was handed over to police for two days of physical remand. Police had requested five days.
