LAHORE: An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Thursday granted post-arrest bail to former police inspector Abid Hussain alias Abid Boxer in a case of alleged extortion and attacking a police team.

Earlier, counsel of Abid rejected the prosecution story and said the police registered a concocted FIR against the petitioner only to settle personal grudge. He said the charge of snatching a police rifle was also fabricated. He also accused the police of torturing the petitioner physical during the custody.
