Islamabad: Following Imran Khan’s indictment in May 9 and GHQ attack cases, police have arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and Opposition Leader in the National Assembly, Omar Ayub, outside Adiala Jail on Thursday, Express News reported. He was taken into custody following a court decision, while former law minister Raja Basharat was also arrested as he exited the jail. Other PTI leaders, including Ahmed Chatha, were also detained and transferred to the police station at Adiala whereas PTI worker Azeem was also arrested. The Rawalpindi police have arrested Omar Ayub and four other PTI leaders in connection with cases related to violent protests following a ‘final’ call for action. The court has adjourned the case until December 10, asking the prosecution to present evidence. The PTI condemned the arrests in a post on X, calling the state’s actions a sign of an “undeclared martial law in Pakistan.” The party further stated, “Such acts reflect desperation, not strength!” News Desk
