AML chief is facing charges of levelling murder plot allegations against PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, threatening police personnel, and passing "offensive" and "filthy" comments against Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari in multiple cities.

#TheNews
Rashid's lawyers had filed a new plea seeking the former minister's bail in the sessions court, following the rejection by a judicial magistrate. However, the sessions court judge, Tahir Mehmood, forwarded the plea to an additional sessions court.

#TheNews
The plea stated that Rashid had been targeted for political vengeance and the police was misused against him. More investigation is not needed as he was on a judicial remand in Adiala Jail, it added.

#TheNews
UPDATE: Murree court rejects police's request for three-day physical remand of Rashid, orders to send AML chief to jail on judicial remand.
