The investigating officer acquitted the PTI leaders in four different cases in the report submitted to the Judge.
The investigating officer told the court that all the accused are innocent and that the accused will be discharged from the cases soon.
On this, Malik Burhan Muazzam, the lawyer of the accused, said that there is no need to provide bail, on which the leaders requested to withdraw their bail which was accepted.
After acquitting in the cases, the PTI leaders made a sign of victory outside the court and said today it has been proved that all the cases were false and there is no justification for terrorism cases against political figures.
