At least 14 party supporters detained.
PTI founder Imran Khan’s sisters, Aleema Khan, Uzma Khan, and Noreen Khan Niazi, were among 400 individuals arrested on Wednesday as police broke up a sit-in outside Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail, where the party’s founder and former prime minister is presently detained.
Furthermore, 14 PTI personnel were detained and brought before an anti-terrorism court (ATC) today, which granted three days of physical detention and returned the accused to police custody.
Imran’s sisters, party members, and supporters had staged a sit-in at Factory Naka the day before, seeking a court-ordered Tuesday meeting with the PTI founder. Police utilized water cannons and baton charges to disperse the demonstrators, beginning their operation at 2 a.m.
According to a copy of the first information report (FIR) dated December 17, 400 suspects, including 35 nominated persons, were arrested under various provisions of the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1997 (ATA) and the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC), including the use of petrol bombs and violating Section 144 of the Criminal Code of Procedure (CrPC), which prohibits public gatherings.
The accused include Imran’s sisters, PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja, PTI leader Aliya Hamza, and PTI lawyer Naeem Panjhuta, among others.
