PTI chairman Barrister Gohar among party bigwigs arrested outside parliament
Islamabad: The police arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Barrister Gohar outside the Parliament House on Monday.
Earlier, PTI’s outspoken leader Sher Afzal Marwat was also taken into custody. The PTI leader, along with his security guard, was arrested outside the Parliament House and then taken to the Secretariat police station.
A scuffle broke out between the police officials and Marwat’s guards, leading to one of the guards being detained. Following Marwat’s arrest, PTI leader Shoaib Shaheen was also detained by Islamabad police from his office.
A large police presence was seen outside the parliament for these high-profile arrests, with the red-zone sealed off from multiple points. Interestingly, PTI leader Ali Muhammad Khan was not arrested by the police when he exited the parliament.
