Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that the JIT has been given the responsibility of looking into the cases and that it will finish its inquiries in 14 days and submit a challan to the courts.

Notably, the supporters of the PTI forced their way into the judicial complex recently, broke down the main gate, and vandalised the courts. Later, the Islamabad police filed an FIR, including terrorism charges, against Khan and dozens of PTI leaders.
