ISLAMABAD: Fawad Chaudhry, a former federal minister who recently left PTI over May 9 violence, was arrested from his home in Islamabad, his wife said. Taking to X, Hiba Chaudhry wrote that “Fawad has been arrested and taken to an unknown place.” Fawad’s brother Faraz Chaudhry also confirmed the arrest by the police, saying he did now where they took him. His brother said police detained Fawad from outside his house and drove him away, as it is not clear yet under which charges he has been arrested. The former cabinet member, who remained a vocal advocate of the PTI chairman, is active on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter, after leaving the former ruling party but hasn’t been actively involved in political activities. Despite the IPP and the PML-N showing a soft approach towards each other, Fawad has been critical of three-time prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his family members. DNA
