Islamabad (Web Desk): The Islamabad Police arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Information Secretary Raoof Hasan from party’s secretariat in the federal capital.
According to details, a heavy contingent of police arrived outside the PTI secretariat and surrounded the building.
The PTI sources confirmed that Rauf Hasan has been arrested.
"It’s absolutely shameful how Islamabad Police continues to completely mock and disregard every law in this country. Law of the jungle is reigning over Pakistan!" PTI said in a statement on X.
The PTI said police took computer and some other goods into custody as well from the party secretariat.
The party also shared footage on the X platform, showing several police vehicles and a few police personnel outside the party’s central secretariat.
However, refuting the PTI's claim, Islamabad Police said that the law enforcers have only detained Hasan. They said that Gohar had not been taken into custody.
Earlier, it was being reported that PTI chief Barrister Gohar Ali Khan had also been arrested.
However, sources within the Islamabad Police have denied this.
They also denied reports of the arrest of PTI women and the confiscation of laptops and documents from the office.
Meanwhile, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan, in a statement confirmed he accompanied Raoof Hasan to the police lines due to Hasan's health issues.
Barrister Gohar said that the police informed him he was not required in any case and was free to leave. "Police dropped me home," he added.
