Gilgit: A local court has sentenced former Chief Minister of Gilgit-Baltistan, Khalid Khurshid, to 34 years in prison for issuing threats to security agencies and the Election Commission.
According to Express News, the court also imposed a fine of PKR 600,000 on the former chief minister. Additionally, the court ordered his immediate arrest and detention, along with instructions to the Director General of NADRA to block Khurshid’s national identity card.
Khurshid remains at large and has not appeared in court proceedings. The charges stem from a speech delivered on May 26, 2024, during a public gathering, where he allegedly threatened security agencies, the Chief Secretary, and the Chief Election Commissioner. Following the incident, a case was registered against him under the Anti-Terrorism Act at the City Police Station in Gilgit.
