Islamabad police have obtained arrest warrants for Imran Khan, his wife Bushra Bibi, and 94 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers. The case relates to vandalism during a recent protest in Islamabad. The Kohsar police station filed this case, which also includes other prominent PTI leaders.
The warrants target several PTI figures, including Sheikh Waqas Akram, Omar Ayub, Sher Afzal Marwat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, Aliya Hamza, Semabia Tahir, Shoaib Shaheen, and Ali Bukhari. The charges stem from riots and unrest that occurred in Islamabad’s D-Chowk last week.
Sources confirmed that Islamabad police plan to form special teams. These teams will work to quickly arrest the suspects and enforce the law.
In a related development, an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Islamabad sent Imran Khan to judicial remand for 14 days. This decision came in a New Town police station case. Imran Khan was already in Adiala Jail when he was re-arrested in connection with this case after securing bail in the Toshakhana case.
The ATC judge, Amjad Ali Shah, approved the judicial remand for Imran Khan in the New Town police case and seven other cases. These additional cases involve charges of vandalism.
The police continue their efforts to bring those involved in the D-Chowk riots to justice. The warrants and subsequent arrests highlight the government’s strict stance on law enforcement.
