Nawabzada Gazain Marri, the son of late Baloch politician Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri, was released from district jail Quetta on Wednesday after an anti-terrorism court granted him bail in a case pertaining to his suspected ties with banned militant organizations.
ATC Judge Dawood Nasar approved the bail of the former home minister of Balochistan against a surety bond worth Rs 300,000 and ordered his release if he was not required in any other case. Earlier, the ATC in Sibi had granted him bail in a murder case registered against him in 2004 at Manjara levies station Kohlu. The case was registered against Marri in 2004 at Manjara levies station Kohlu after a landmine blast in Kohlu's Mavand tehsil in June 2004 had killed civilians.
