The judicial magistrate directed the representatives of both Islamabad and Punjab police to fulfill and complete the required documentation for further hearing proceedings. Strict security measures were made at the court premises where Ali Amin’s brother, former provincial minister Faisal Amin, Tehsil Mayor Umar Amin and a large number of PTI workers were present.
