Police in Islamabad have filed three cases against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership for failing to conclude a rally on time, pelting stones on police officers, and violating designated routes.
The cases were registered under the Public Order and Peace Act, following the PTI’s public gathering.
The first case was lodged at Sangjani Police Station for the rally exceeding its permitted time limit.
A second case was registered at Sumbal Police Station for violating the pre-approved route by leading convoys through Sadaat Colony and Srinagar Highway.
The third case, filed at Noon Police Station, pertains to stone-pelting on law enforcement officials, including senior superintendent of police (SSP) Safe City and other officers.
According to police sources, the prosecution has been prepared, with 28 local PTI leaders, including Zartaj Gul, Aamir Mughal, Shoaib Shaheen, Umar Ayub, Seemabia Tahir, and Raja Basharat, named in the cases.
The prosecution further alleges that PTI workers attacked police with stones and sticks after being stopped for route violations, leading to the arrest of 17 workers following the use of tear gas by authorities.
