Activist Alamgir Wazir, who was detained by the Punjab police on charges of sedition, submitted a bail petition to a local court on Wednesday, according to a report in Dawn.
Wazir, who was mentioned in the FIR along with Ammar Ali Jan, Kamil Khan, Iqbal Lala and Farooq Tariq, stated in his bail petition that that the charges leveled against him are false and baseless. He further said that he was not in possession of any loud speaker and had not made a speech with seditious remarks.
He added that if he is given bail, he will show up to the courts when asked to.
SI Mohammad Nawaz alleged that the participants in the Student Solidarity March, including those named in the FIR, were making seditious speeches, and that this can be proved through PPCI3 camera recordings.
Wazir’s petition states the police are not following the proper procedure for submitting video evidence.

The Punjab Police has been given till the 5th of December to submit a reply.
