In the senior journalist Mohsin Baig case, the anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Monday accepted the bail of two employees of the arrested journalist, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

ATC judge Mohammad Ali Warraich, while accepting the bail of the employees, ordered the authorities to free them from detention.

Earlier, Mohsin Baig filed a bail application in the ATC.

The journalist has already been granted bail in unlicensed arms case.

The law-enforcement agencies had taken Baig into custody following a raid on his home in Islamabad around a fortnight ago on the complaint of Federal Minister Murad Saeed who had accused him of maligning him during a live TV show by giving a book reference authored by Prime Minister Imran Khan’s ex-wife Reham Khan.
