halt expected police action
lahore
The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday dismissed a petition filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi that sought to “halt expected police action” at their Zaman Park residence during Eidul Fitr holidays. The court also imposed a fine of Rs100,000 on Bushra’s lawyer Azhar Siddique.
The Punjab police had raided Imran’s Lahore residence last month after the former premier left for the Federal Judicial Complex for a hearing and arrested several party workers.
During the hearing of a separate case at the LHC earlier this week, Imran informed the court of his fears that another “operation” would be launched during the Eid holidays. Subsequently, the court directed police to not “harass” Imran.
