An anti-terrorism court in Lahore has discharged PTI leader Yasmin Rashid in the Jinnah House attack case and ordered the immediate release of the former Punjab health minister.

ATC Judge Abher Gul Khan issued the order, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com.

The order said: “… perusal of record reveals that neither Dr Yasmin Rashid is nominated in the FIR nor involved through supplementary statement and she was summoned in the case on the disclosure of a co-accused which has no evidentiary value in the eye of the court.”

It added that no “incriminating material” was found against Rashid and ordered her release.
