Taking to Twitter, the PTI stated the Islamabad police arrested the leader and have moved him to an undisclosed location now. It is pertinent to mention here that the police have launched a crackdown against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders and workers following the ‘violent protests’ held after the arrest of party chairman Imran Khan in Al-Qadir Trust Case.
Violent clashes broke out across Pakistan after former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan was arrested from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday. The protests were held in remote and major cities as the party workers are agitated due to their chairman’s arrest, with Balochistan, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Islamabad summoning the armed forces to ensure law and order.
Meanwhile, the police also conducted a raid on Lal Haveli, the residence of the former federal minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, but failed to arrest him. Reacting to the raid, Sheikh Rashid said that he and his nephew were being targeted by the government and that they were not involved in any vandalism or violence.
