Gill's Case History

PTI senior leader Shahbaz Gill was arrested on August 9 in Islamabad after a sedition case was filed against him for inciting mutiny within the Pakistan Army. He was already facing sedition charges, but the Islamabad Police — last week — also registered a case against the PTI leader over possession of an illegal weapon.

Gill was booked in the case after police raided the incarcerated PTI leader's room in Parliament Lodges late Monday — where they recovered weapons, a satellite phone, and foreign currency.

A day prior Islamabad court disposed of Gill's bail petition in the sedition case filed against him.

PTI chairman Imran Khan has also alleged that Shahbaz Gill faced sexual abuse during police custody. Later Gill also confirmed Imran Khan’s claim.
